The Wharfeside path is never in doubt and requires little description. It leads eventually to a ladder-stile spanning a wall, and then upfield to a low step-stile beyond which the path rises through a small copse to steps leading up to the B6160. Cross the road with care and go through a gate opposite to the rear of the Farfield Friends Meeting House.

Farfield Friends Meeting House

Farfield Friends Meeting House is one of the earliest Quaker meeting houses, and is still largely in its original form. It has not been in regular use since the early 19th century.

Walk around the meeting house to follow the access drive to Lobwood House for a few strides. Immediately after a gate, leave the access by branching right onto a permissive path over a through-stile (signposted for Bolton Bridge). Over the stile, keep to the wall on the right, heading down the farm access towards the B6160. Just on reaching the B-road, go left over a stile in a corner, and then pleasantly across two pastures to a gate and stile giving onto a short path leading down to the B-road. Take great care against approaching traffic, and cross to the right-hand side once a narrow and intermittent footpath appears there.
