Settle Loop Wheel Friendly Walk

The Settle Loop is a well-established route which was designed originally for cyclists and horse riders.

This10-miles circular route includes a steep climb and there is some rugged terrain in places. It is a wheelchair walk that requires a sturdy 4×4 all-terrain buggy, such as the TerrainHopper.

The route, which starts in the Yorkshire Dales market town of Settle wonders through the Limestone uplands where the scenery is magnificent.  You will see glimpses of Malham Tarn, Pen-y-Ghent and Ingleborough.

A well-earned pint can be savoured in The Lion Inn, Settle. The bar and restaurant is wheelchair friendly, though there are no wheelchair accessible toilets.

For the cream tea lovers, The Watershed Mill, Settle is worth a visit. A great place for retail therapy and all wheelchair accessible.

For alternative walk around Settle, which is suitable for all wheelchair types is the Settle/Giggleswick river walk.

We stayed at the King William the Fourth Guest House, in Settle which an adapted ground floor room.
