An invigorating walk to work up an appetite for Sunday lunch at the historic 18th Century CB Inn, named after a descendant of physician Dr John Bathurst who bought the dale in 1656 and whose family did much to develop lead mining here. We head for the imposing Scar House and climb up onto the top of the scar. Heading for the tiny hamlet of Booze, we will see signs of the lead mining industry and the location where scenes from Wuthering Heights were filmed. Heading down to Arkle Beck we follow the river back to the CB via Langthwaite which featured in the opening shots for the iconic series, All Creatures Great and Small. Please bring a drink and a snack for a stop on route. Walk participants will be contacted prior to the walk for their lunchtime menu choices.
