Bentham Walks
'The footpath walks around Bentham, all on recognised routes and rights of way, range over a variety of terrains – riverside banks, undulating pastures, flowery meadows, and wind-swept moors, and provide not only superb distant panoramic views, but numerous local features, such as stiles, steps, footbridges, gills, becks and barns, which express the intensive and caring culture of generations of Yorkshire country folk.'
'With the pressure on the more easily identified focuses of outdoor recreation such as the Lake District and the Three Peaks, interest is increasing in quieter and more unspoilt areas "off the beaten track". In recent years, Bentham has come to be appreciated as a walking centre with distinct possibilities ...' ALERT Link changed from Bentham Town Council to Friends of Bentham Station.
