Barden Moor Estate Track

Long section (5 miles/ 7.6km) of isolated estate track over Barden Moor with great views and an exciting descent to Rhylstone.

Barden Moor Track

Highlight • Cycleway

Fun to fly down this as not particularly technical. Can get driffty under loose rocks. Good in all weathers

View of Embsay Reservoir from Embsay Crag

Highlight • Lake

Stunning views from the top and if it is not too breezy, plenty of great rocks to perch on for a picnic! There are two routes off the crag leading towards Embsay Reservoir. The one closest to the edge of the crag is steepest, whereas if you follow the route off the back, the path, although steep in places, is not as sharp as the other option!

View of Embsay Crag

Highlight • Viewpoint

The crag is at 366m and is a great way to look from above at the area. It's a view of two contrasts: to the south is Skipton and the green valley of Airdale; to the north is bleak and rough moorland peppered by equally rough reservoirs. Easy and well-established paths lead up here, so you will have joy!

Barden Moor Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The start of this climb is very steep, with twisting road and gradient of up to 21%. It eases out closer to the top with a stunning view over the valley.

Barden Road Climb

Highlight • Viewpoint

Barden Road winds through moody moorlands as it climbs to 984 feet (300 metres). The view over distant hills, rocky outcrops and layered fields is simply stunning. Look out for the glistening waters of Lower Barden Reservoir on the horizon as you descend down Black Hill. The climb up isn't easy, but the views will quickly make you forget your aching muscles!
