This may only be a short stroll by our usual standards but this is one of our favourite walks, one that we've repeated a number of times. It's a short-ish circular walk that links the two villages of Burnsall and Linton (as you may have guessed from the title) and includes some pretty typical Yorkshire Dales scenery. There is also a pair of fantastic pubs, which probably explains why we're so fond of it.....
You can start the walk in either Burnsall or Linton; we favour Burnsall because there are more places to leave the car. Arrive early enough and you may even be rewarded with a spot next to the village green.
Burnsall is your atypical Yorkshire Dales village; small and picturesque, largely thanks to the stunning 16th Century bridge that spans the River Wharfe while Thorpe Fell provides a suitably impressive backdrop.
