Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-10): Marvel at Medieval Monasteries on River Walks

One unforgettable summer stroll took me along the River Wharfe from Ilkley’s Riverside Gardens to the serene village of Addingham and finally to the awe-inspiring Bolton Abbey. The path is dotted with historical gems, including an ancient stone bridge and Castleberg fort. As autumn approaches, consider exploring the Yorkshire Dales in September when the misty mornings and cool temperatures (8°C) offer a unique charm.
