The
walk starts at Church Bridge. From the car part in Dent walk through
the church grounds and follow the road to the bridge. The FP is
along the Dales Way firstly to Barth Bridge and then on to where
the FP meets the road close to Dillicar. The walk is straightforward,;
the walker encountering a series of gates, stiles and footbridges.
(60 min) Turn left
at the road for 400 yd. The FP (to Stone Rigg and Bower Bank) starts
to the left of the barn with a sharp left before the cottage. Follow
the farm track uphill, keeping to the left of the ruin, continue
to the gate leading onto the farm track at Bower Bank. Turn right
and follow the track bypassing Tofts to Combe House. The path now
goes along a grassy track with views over Dent, follows the fellside
contour, and descents to the ladder stile at Stone Rigg. Bear right
to find the next ladder stile at the road. (60 min) Turn right
at the road for 600 yd. The FP (to Dent, Nun House, and High Moss)
is seen on the left. The fairly rough farm track between stone walls
follows the contour high above Dent. The FP sign to Dent on the left
indicates Flinter Gill. (35 min) The track
somewhat rough and stony follows the course of Flinter Gill with
some spectacular views of the water. At Dent continue straight down
the road to the car park. (35 min)
