Ilkley West Ramble #4: Rams Gill
This is the 4th in a series of 28 caches which will take you on a memorable ramble through some fine, varied West Yorkshire countryside immediately west of Ilkley and south of Addingham. The southern half of the ramble traverses an area called Addingham Moorside.
See Ilkley West Ramble #1: Intro & Start for maps, background info on the trail, and parking waypoints.
From IWR #3 retrace your steps around the corner past the gate to the house drive way and straight across the junction with the Netherwood access lane coming from the A65 Ilkley-Skipton road.
Then turn left along the driveway between the buildings with the rear of Netherwood House to your left, Netherwood Farm to your right then some beautiful shady gardens just before a small lane to the right.
Take this, passing through the waymarked metal gate, before heading left towards a gate. Immediately after this, head up left alongside the wall to reach the area of interest adjacent to the end of an old stone outbuilding . . .
You are looking for a small camo-taped screw-capped pot.
Rams Beck starts below Piper's Crag on the gritstone edge of Addingham High Moor passing through Hardwick House Farm, Netherwood and Cocking End before joining the Wharfe after its 1.5km journey near the start of the access route to GC7EJAQ WRW#16: Riverside on Old Ilkley Road.
