| Howdo YP, The causeway is pretty close to the road, it's usually quite boggy up there so a pair of wellies may be a good idea. tracking down the origins of Wade near drove me around the bend but that's another tale. Check out this http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]/6609/wheeldale_moor_cist.html The page has a letter from Blaise Vyner giving his theory that the causeway may be a lot older than Roman, there's plenty of folk who don't agree though. Whilst in the area you should have a look at this http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]/site/6683/old_wifes_well.html It has a disputed tag on it but I'm don't let that put you off, this well is on the margin of a large site that has substantial evidence of occupation from the mesolithic to the bronze age and is the only decent water source around, plus it's pretty. A walk up to this place from the causeway is not to difficult http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2948/simon_howe.html Whilst your on the road it's worth having a look at the Wheeldale stones, mixed feelings over the antiquity of these but they're worth seeing. Have a good trip fitz Reply | with quote |  17th April 2008ce 16:31 In reply to: Wade's Causeway (Yorkshirepedestrian) |
