Lady Anne Way

100 mile long distance footpath from Skipton to Penrith. The trail visits many of the houses, castles and towers once owned by the medieval Clifford Family which she restored during her lifetime.
She is testament to womens' rights in the 16th and 17th Century as she fought for her right to inherit large estates as her father died without any living sons. A fight eventually won.
