Very similar to Buckden, Burnsall is well known for managing the oldest Fell race in the UK. It is held in the month of August, and participants can choose from a wide variety of walks from Barden, Thorpe, Top Dock, to name but a few. A rather quaint and distinctive feature that often attracts many tourists is the chilling Trollers Gill in the vicinity, which is thought to be haunted by trolls when the Scandinavians occupied the area a frightfully long time ago.
The Gill is formed of limestone and is a whopping gorge, believed to accommodate many dead trolls, who will attack many undesirable walkers with rolling stones. Furthermore, there is a legend, which tells of the existence of a wolverine that lives in a cave within this deep ravine, with sharp fangs and staring eyes the size of dinner plates. These Nordic legends have their origins in Norse mythology and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is described as having written The Hound of the Baskervilles based upon this tale. If visiting Trollers Gill does not appeal to you, then you glide down the River Wharfe in boat, take a look around Bolton Abbey and have a pleasant time enjoying the lovely old monastery ruins.
