Bolton Abbey to Barden Bridge walk alongside the River Wharfe

Wednesday 15th September 2021

A circular walk from Bolton Abbey, starting at the Riverside Car park near the Cavendish Pavilion. Signs along the way show the nature trails through Strid wood, whilst the walk itself actually passes by the Strid, which offers great photo opportunities especially when the Wharf is in full flow. The walk heads up to and crosses Barden bridge before returning down the other side of the Wharf, where the footpath is at a slightly higher elevation in places and also more undulating.
