About W5: The Former Chapels Of Arkengarhdale

Leave Station car park 9.15am. Start at Langthwaite Car Park (GR: NZ 005 023, What3Words: ///ticket.until.yummy) at 10.00am. 6 Miles. Easy. 7Following an early sell out in 2024, we are pleased to include this walk in 2025. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Arkengarthdale was an internationally significant lead-producing area. Alongside the industry, nonconformist religion flourished, and seeking out the (now redundant) chapels of the time gives an agreeable focus to this easy walk through a remote and peaceful corner of the Dales. Expect historical snippets and wonderful views. We finish with a visit to the deserted churchyard of Arkle Town before our return to Langthwaite.
