Finish off with a pint at either the Maypole Inn or The Boars Head. Plenty of parking in the village either at the Pubs or round the greens. (Unlike Barley)

Long Preston Peg to proud Preston went,
To see the Scotch rebels it was her intent.
A noble Scotch lord, as he passed by,
On this Yorkshire damsel did soon cast an eye.

He called to his servant, which on him did wait,
'Go down to yon girl who stands in the gate,
That sings with a voice so soft and so sweet,
And in my name do her lovingly greet.'

Walked Weets Hill from Letcliffe Park this evening with baby, wife and dog. Easy walking on bridle paths with panoramic views from the trig point. -2hr round circuit

Easy, local and accessible- finished off in The Fountain Inn Barnoldsiwck for some food and a pint.
