She then set about repairing the castles and houses that she owned and when completed, she continually travelled between them all taking her household retinue with her. In 1995, Sheila Gordon created a path that linked all the castles and fortified structures that Lady Anne Clifford used to travel between. The walk crosses from Airedale, Wharfedale and Wensleydale…
