Hackfall

Really nice area to walk, there are a few different walking options shown on the map at the entrance. Lots to see and great scenery. Small car park at the front No facilities on site, so take what you need.

The map at the main entrance suggests 4 walking routes depending on your fitness level and the time you'd like to walk for. Despite the map, the routes are poorly signposted so do expect to go off piste. It's a peaceful walk with landmarks to find on your way around. Parking is free, however spaces are limited.

This is a BEAUTIFUL location! Honeslty. I was captivated from nearly the beginning at least :). I had my 4 kids with me and they were enthralled as much as me. The ruins supplied great stimulation for their imaginations, and the streams and rivers everywhere were just enchanting! The colour of the pond was dreamy! And what with the heavy rainfall recently the waterfalls were alive! If you happened to be anywhere near this and you love woodlands and walks this place cannot fail to bless you!

Beautiful place, almost a well kept secret. But the sign posts area joke, plan your walk ignore the map, I never did manage to work out how the signposts helped anyone. I took a photo of the map to be used during the walk, but we had to guess the whole lot. Was a hit sunny day and we walked from the river to the ridges. Definitely suggest it, very pretty. Heads up, the car park takes about 10 cars.

Amazing walks and hidden gems scattered about place. It is sign posted throughout, but can be difficult to navigate your way back to the car park. Have Google maps handy!

Lovely walks, real character and peaceful. Superb viewpoints and a drink in the Crown in Grewelthorpe is a great reward for all that trekking!!!

Amazing woodland walk with lots to see. Was very muddy and slippy but this added to the fun. Wish we had more time to explore more but will certainly be back again. We took others advice and arrived early to get a parking space.

Plenty to explore here, even in the wettest of weathers (sliding all over just adds to the fun!) Pleasantly surprised, I hadn’t heard of this place until a friend suggested it, but really enjoyed it. We only managed 5k due to time restrictions but plenty of routes to make it much longer. Lovely ruins to see along the way! Free car park also
