Long Lane, Clapdale
Long Lane, Clapham in the Yorkshire Dales.
Long Lane, an ancient packhorse route for the transportation of goods, would also have been used by drovers for the movement of sheep and cattle. Long Lane connected Clapham with Selside and then linked up with other routes to Hawes. From Clapham the route south probably ran to Sawley Abbey. The original routes only started to become walled in the late Middle Ages with the introduction of the Enclosure Act and the dissolution of the monasteries.
