This long distance footpath of about 80 miles (129 km) from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere passes through nearby Dentdale and the Lune Valley. By following as far as possible riverside paths, it offers a scenically attractive route from urban West Yorkshire to the Lake District, which any reasonably fit family can undertake in a week's holiday.
The Society was founded in 1980 and now has members throughout the world. Its aims are to study, research, publish and stimulate interest in history, mainly in the history of the local area. The Society maintains an archive in the Sedbergh Community Office, this contains much information of interest to people researching the history of the area or their local family history.
