Just as a house is reached at Newgate, turn right uphill as indicated by a public footpath sign. Climb a grass-and-gorse bank, then enter a forest and turn left behind the house. Turn right steeply uphill and cross an old forest track to climb further. Leave the forest and walk alongside a field, continuing beside another stand of forest, at around 160m (525ft). Veer right along a very vague field path to go down into another wood. Watch carefully for markers as some parts of the path are overgrown, especially when it is necessary to keep to the left-hand side of a fence. Step out into a field and head diagonally down it to reach a grassy track in Whisper Dales beside a stream flanked by trees.

The grassy track running downhill from Whisper Dales towards Low Dales

Turn right to follow the grassy track down into Low Dales. It remains grassy and is marked by arrows for a while. Cross two footbridges beside two fords close together at Lowdales Farm. Follow a field path to the left of the road, as the road actually carries the full flow of water from Lowdales Beck! Continue to follow the path down through the dale to reach a junction. Left leads to St Peter’s Church in Hackness, while right leads back to the road junction at the village hall, not far from the Hackness Grange Hotel.
