The journey to the source of the Swale takes us into one of the remotest corners of Swaledale, an area of seemingly endless fells and deep gills, of wide skies and scattered farms. Several characteristic “forces” [waterfalls], all impressive after rain, add to the attractiveness of the scene. Leaving Keld we follow Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Trail through dramatic Whitsundale to Ravenseat, before dropping down to the source of the Swale. A short walk along the river, across open moorland and a terrace above the river takes us back to Keld – with further waterfalls on the way. There are a couple of short but steepish climbs enroute.
