A classic Yorkshire Dales road up the length of Wharfedale.
The B6160 follows the River Wharfe from Bolton Abbey up through Kettlewell into the high dale, between drystone walls and limestone fells. It is a quintessential Dales drive; expect cyclists, walkers and farm traffic, and take the villages and humpbacks gently.
