High Cup Nick
The Walk from Dufton to High Cup Ghyll is ideal on a good day. It takes about 4 hours. Leaving the Car Park turn right towards Appleby and go around the first sharp bend and looking ahead between the houses is a bridleway signposted to High Scald Fell. Follow the tract up to the mines and through going towards the head of the valley until you come to a stone shed (GR725283) Then head due south east across the top. About to miles across the top you come to High Cup Nick. The view on a clear day is spectacular. Turn right onto the path which is ;art of the Pennine Way, you are now heading south west. Follow the path down, ignoring left turns to Keisley, the track is a bit rough. Then past Bow Hall farm down to the road between Appleby and Dufton, turn right and this will bring you back into the village. This walk can also be done by going up and back on the path which goes past Bow Hall.

Dufton Pike
This is particularly nice in Spring. Again from the car park you turn right and take the bridleway to High Scald Fell. Follow this keeping Dufton Pike on your left. After about a mile and a half you pass through a seven barred metal gate and shortly after this you will see a six barred metal gate on your left. Continue along the bridleway for a short distance then turn left through a wooden gate near some sheep folds and follow the path round the Pike. /continue parallel to the stream on your right until you come to a stile in a long wall. Go through the stile and the path is once again well defined. Continue along it until you meet the Pennine Way near an old stone footbridge. Turn left onto the tract - the Pennine Way - and follow it with Dufton Pike still on your left. The track passes through Coatsike Farm and onto the road to Knock just outside Dufton.

Dufton Ghyll and Wood - lovely in May when carpeted with bluebells.
To walk the length of the Ghyll turn right towards Appleby passing the Bow Hall turn and the Keisley Road turn. Follow the road around the corner, leaving Green How farm on your left and when you come to a red stone cottage on your left, opposite is a gate signposted Ghyll and Dufton. Follow the path, various bridges and tracks go off to the right, these will take you back into the village, but the complete the walk keep on the left hand side of the river. You will pass a bench dedicated to my husband - the only seat in the Ghyll, follow the path until it reaches the Long Marton road. Turn right onto the road and this will take up back up to Dufton village.
