Path closures and diversions

Two bits of news just in:

A number of footpaths and bridleways in Arkengarthdale, Calver Hill and Gunnerside Gill will be closed for "works to be executed" from now until September. The Yorkshire Dales National Park website offers a little more detail, and some alternative routes, but doesn't say what the "works" are. A mole suggests they may be not-unconnected to the shooting of Warner Bros' remake of Wuthering Heights...

• These works affect Walk no. 7, Calver Hill from Reeth, in our Pootling Round Richmond and Swaledale booklet. 

At the same time, we hear that the Coast to Coast route through Whitecliffe Woods, just before Richmond, will be diverted by North Yorkshire Council during repair works. The closure starts 1 April, and will continue until 30 Sept at the latest.

• These works affect Walk no. 4, Willance's Leap, in our Richmond Walks booklet.
