Route Map
Leyburn War Memorial and the start point for this lovely walk. There is plenty of parking both in front of the pic and behind plus there are other facilities in and around this area. The walk heads up to Leyburn Shawl which is reached via the pavement to the right.
Didn't visit but it looked very nice both inside and out
The pavement leads to a signpost on to Leyburn Shawl
Leyburn Shawl - or simply 'The Shawl', is the name of a limestone scar of modest height that stretches almost two miles west of Leyburn. The scar gives breathtaking views to Penn Hill and Wensleydale and the distinct flat top of Addlebrough. Legend has it that that Mary Queen of Scots escaped from Castle Bolton where she had been imprisoned. She dropped her shawl on the way hence the name.
