A circular walk starting from the Game Cock Pub in Austwick, mainly along tracks so suitable for wetter days. The walk passes around Oxenber and Wharfe woods and offers excellent views of the typical dales landscape. As soon as height is gained there are wonderful panoramic views of initially Ingleborough and its surrounds and then further on around to Pen-y-ghent and Fountains Fell. If your timing is right, there is a tea room in Feizor to have a short break from the walk! There is also an alternative parallel, mainly field path, which can be taken on the return from Feizor.
