Day Hikes by Adventure Solos are a great way to get to know us if you're interested in our solo-friendly adventures. We set a fairly slow and steady pace for these walks, making them social and inclusive events. All walks are lead by an Adventure Solos host that is also a qualified Mountain Leader and first aider (usually Chris from Adventure Solos).
This lovely riverside walk undulates along the River Wharfe, passing by Bolton Abbey on the return leg, with a visit to an awesome nearby American Diner (Billy Bob’s) where you can load up on calories again after! The route we follow is 7 miles (11km) and will take around 4.5 hours, including half an hour to wander the grounds of the Abbey. We will walk at a fairly gentle pace for this hike, but you should have a moderate level of fitness to allow you to walk for the 7 miles. For the avoidance of doubt, the cost of your food/drink at the diner is not included in the event. The event starts near the roadside parking outside the Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa, BD23 6AJ.
