Situated around 6 miles west of Settle is the village of Clapham which is home to many a nice day out or adventure! There are a few different ways to get to the village from Settle – apart from a good days hike 🙂 Driving is quicker! and there is a National Parks Cark Park in the centre, and by paying the charge you are contributing to the Yorkshire Dales National Park upkeep. Therefore is best to try to avoid using the side streets and blocking residents property.
You can catch the Bus from the Market Place in Settle Town centre which runs around every 2 Hours – You need Dales Bus the 581 going towards Kirby Lonsdale.
Another public transport is the Train but there is a good mile and half from the station at Clapham to get into the village itself. There is a footpath all the way and the trains run along the Bentham Line to Lancaster so its also a walk out to Giggleswick Station (not our one in Town) which is a mile from Settle Town Centre. Again these Trains run through the day every 113mins!! So once you have arrived in the village you can walk around with its pretty river running through, quiant little stone cottages and walls typical of this area
