After about 1.5km (1 mile), the road is left by branching down a path
descending into Feetham Wood. Before long the path rejoins the river, fol-
lowing its course all the way to Isles Bridge. Go left on the bridge for a
few strides, then, without crossing it, drop right to follow a riverside path
once more, until flushed up onto the road for a short distance, escaping
back to the river at the first opportunity. A walk along floodbanks follows,
until the path briefly touches on the road before charging across a string
of meadows to enter Gunnerside near the King's Head Hotel.
Turn left at the King's Head, and cross the bridge spanning Gunnerside
Beck to be faced with two roads ahead. Take the one on the left - it
soon leads to an estate of modern stone-built houses known as Flatlands,
passed by a signposted route to reach a meadow leading out towards the
Swale. On approaching the river, the path climbs high above, to begin a
series of meadows and stiles leading to the village of Ivelet. Here, turn
left and follow a surfaced road to Ivelet Bridge. Leave the road by a gate
on the right before crossing the bridge, and follow the Swale on a green
path through countless meadows as it swings round towards Ramps Holme
Bridge. (This bridge is the means of access to Muker for walkers staying
there.) Otherwise continue ahead, ignoring the bridge, to start northwards
with the Swale a little more distant now. Follow a broad, clear path to the
foot of Swinner Gill, cross the gill and start climbing steeply to arrive dir-
ectly beneath Crackpot Hall (page 104).
The path from Crackpot Hall continues above the river and Kisdon Gorge,
gradually descending to meet the Pennine Way for a brief moment above
East Gill Force. Here, by dropping to the river, the route crosses a bridge
and climbs, right, to reach the village of Keld (page 102).
