River Wharfe by Yorkshire Lad - Paul Thackray The River Wharfe flowing quietly down Wharfedale between Starbotton and Kettlewell. The stone barn is typical of remote barns found in the fields throughout the dales. The section from the river's source to around Addingham which includes this location is known as Upper Wharfedale and lies in North Yorkshire and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The first 15 miles or so is known as Langstrothdale, including the settlements of Beckermonds, Yockenthwaite and Hubberholme, famous for its church, the resting place of the writer J. B. Priestley. As it turns southwards, the Wharfe then runs through a green and lush valley, characterised by limestone outcrops, such as Kilnsey Crag, and woodland, generally quite unusual in the Dales. This track between Kettlewell and Buckden is part of the Dales Way Long Distance Footpath from Ilkley to Bowness on Windermere. From the archive https://flic.kr/p/2kFNJg3
