Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Almscliffe Crag is a lump of gritstone standing on its own above lower Wharfedale, visible for miles and a favourite for a short scramble to the top. Rock climbers work its faces while walkers just head up for the panorama across the vale. It’s open-access land reached by footpath, with Weeton station under 2km away to the south-east.
