Barbon and Casterton Fells
Not Strictly in the Dales National Park but pretty much on the edge,this walk takes in some of the lesser known fells to the south of theHowgills. Nothing too challenging, but if the weather is good and thereis time the walk can take in a bit of extra height so as to admire theview across the Lune valley. Starting at Barbon Church and heading upBarbondale, then over towards Bullpot Farm, a centre for caving, down tothe small limestone "gorge" of Easegill Kirk and then possibly a look atsome Andy Goldsworthy "sheepfolds" or a small stone circle.

I think i overestimated the length of time the walk will take - it shouldn`t be any more than 5 hours any way.
Parking by the church may be difficult on a Sunday, but there should be plenty of places on the road to park in Barbon
