The Lady Anne's Way

The Lady Anne's Way is a classic 100-mile off-road route from Skipton to Penrith.
Starting at Skipton Castle, it passes through the beautiful and popular Yorkshire Dales, before entering Cumbria and the hidden delights of the Upper Eden Valley.
The route was inspired by Lady Anne Clifford, a Countess who owned vast estates in the old county of Westmorland during the seventeenth century. Lady Anne travelled repeatedly between her castles and the route takes in these once magnificent buildings, with many now sadly in ruins.
This route can be tackled as one ultra-distance challenge or in several individual sections as recommended in our collection of 5 linear routes.
