Bank Hill is a small hill located in the picturesque region of Yorkshire, England. Situated in the southern part of the county, it belongs to the wider area known as the Yorkshire Dales. Despite its name, Bank Hill is more accurately described as a gentle slope rather than a towering mountain.

Standing at an elevation of approximately 300 meters above sea level, Bank Hill offers visitors stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The hill is covered in lush green grass and dotted with patches of colorful wildflowers during the spring and summer months, creating a picturesque landscape that attracts hikers and nature enthusiasts alike.

The hill is easily accessible, with a well-maintained footpath leading to the summit. The path winds its way through the rolling countryside, allowing walkers to take in the natural beauty of the area. Along the route, there are occasional benches and resting spots where visitors can pause to admire the views or have a picnic.

Bank Hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including rabbits, foxes, and various species of birds. It provides a habitat for many native plants and trees, contributing to the biodiversity of the area.

Bank Hill is a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a peaceful and scenic retreat. Its tranquil atmosphere and captivating views make it an ideal spot for relaxation and reconnecting with nature. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike, Bank Hill offers something for everyone.

Which way? Here the Marsh Lane bridleway splits. Left to Addlethorpe Wood and Sicklinghall; right towards Beck View Farm and Clap Gate. Either way, just follow the blue-topped posts. I turned right.

Bridleway to Spofforth This shot looks back up the last stretch of a 3-mile length of bridleway from Spofforth. The route is a mixture of double-track (like this), singletrack and indistinct lines alongside field boundaries. Great fun. View looking north from the minor road near Clap Gate.

Signpost at Spring Moor This signpost is at the crossroads of Spring Lane/Wharfe Lane/Moor Lane just to the north of Netherby. Note "Yorks WR" (West Riding of Yorkshire) on the top of the post. I think the land to the north of the River Wharfe hereabouts is now in North Yorkshire. The illegible arm of the signpost is pointing up Moor Lane to Barrowby.
