Walking

Walking in the Yorkshire Dales offers some of the UK’s most iconic and scenic trails. The Dales Way is a gentler, picturesque route that stretches from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere, winding through tranquil riversides, rolling meadows, and charming villages like Grassington. For more challenging adventures, the Yorkshire Three Peaks route covers the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough in a strenuous 24-mile circuit that rewards walkers with breathtaking panoramic views. Both trails offer a unique experience of the Yorkshire Dales’ varied landscapes, from lush valleys to rugged peaks. With paths suitable for different abilities, the Dales are a haven for walkers of all levels.
