Pathfinder Guide - Yorkshire Dales Walks
Home > Pathfinder Guide - Yorkshire Dales Walks

The Yorkshire Dales include some of the most attractive countryside in Britain, distinctive because of the magnificent limestone landscape that forms much of the National Park. On the high, exposed moorlands the landscape is lonely, austere and dramatic. The valleys, however, present a striking contrast.

The routes here cover Nidderdale, Wharfedale and Swaledale as well as lesser-known dales, and include the unique natural features around Malham (including the magnificent limestone pavement), the narrow gorge of the Strid and Bolton Abbey, Fountains Abbey (one of the most complete abbey ruins in Britain), the 'Three Peaks' of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent, Aysgarth Falls and the historic Settle-Carlisle railway.
