- At Kilnsey (beyond the overhanging crag) bear right towards Kettlewell on the B6160 -ignore the minor road straight on.
- In Kettlewell, cross the first bridge over the river, pass a garage on your left, then take the next right just before the second bridge. There is a small white signpost pointing to Scargill House. At the maypole, bear right down a single-track road (please take care as this is very narrow and there are often oncoming vehicles, animals and walkers).
