About this route
A 17km limestone loop from Settle climbing above Langcliffe to Jubilee Cave, crossing the high upland towards Malham Moor and returning over the 520m high point of Stockdale Lane. Around 440m of climb on tracks, bridleways and short grass.
Hazards & notes
The upland between Jubilee Cave and Stockdale Lane is open and featureless in cloud, so know where you're turning south. Cattle graze the Stockdale and Attermire pastures, and the limestone clints are lethal underfoot when wet or icy.
