My annual trip to Farndale to see the
daffodils started very early to avoid the crowds. We arrived about 9 and parked
in a field near the local pub which was £2 for the whole day. After wandering
around Farndale and taking lots of pictures of the miniature daffodils we
headed out of the village on to a track that is part of the Inn Way, leading up
a steep hill towards Bransdale. The track soon flattens out and you can enjoy
the views over the moors.
I’ve walked past the church at Cockayne a few times but never been inside. We decided to go in and it was lovely and cool, a welcome break from the heat outside. The church had provided refreshments, with an honesty box which I thought was cute and took advantage of.
Main Points:
Distance – 6 miles in total, linear route, a
couple of steep hills.
Parking – field in Farndale (Church Houses end,
only open when the daffodils are out) £2 all day.
