Appletreewick - Temporary Footpath Closure for Building Repairs

YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY (TEMPORARY PROHIBITION OF PEDESTRIANS) (FOOTPATH NO. 6 (part), APPLETREEWICK) Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 – Section 14(1) (as amended)

Notice is hereby given that the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority intends, not less than seven days from the date of this notice, to make an Order, the effect of which will be to prohibit any pedestrian from proceeding along part of Footpath No. 6 from point of closure at grid reference SE 0724 6083 for approximately 30 metres to point of closure at SE 0726 6080 in the Parish of Appletreewick from 5 October 2026 until 4 April 2027 inclusive, or until the completion of the works, whichever is the earlier.

The closure will be put into effect, when necessary, by means of the erection of notices and signs.

The Order is necessary for reasons of public safety, whilst contractors undertake planned repairs on Simon’s Seat Farm cottage and attached barn.

An alternative route may be used during the closure period which will be as follows:

From point of closure at grid reference SE 0726 6080, proceed in a southerly direction along footpath 05.45/6 and then footpath 05.47/4 for 300 metres to SE 0727 6031. Continue along footpath 05.47/4 in a general south westerly direction for a further 1.27km to SE 0650 5939. Here join footpath 05.47/5 and then 05.45/11 and proceed north for 989 metres to join Skyreholme Lane at SE 0656 6038. Follow Skyreholme Lane to the north east for 948 metres to point of closure at SE 0724 6038 and return.
