As its name suggests, the Tributaries Walk is focussed on the rivers,
becks and gills that flow through the valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.
Beginning in Ingleton, the trail explores beautiful valleys and the high
heather-clad moors that separate them. Visiting as many ‘dales’ as
possible, the route meanders; picking out waterfalls, hidden caves,
rocky escarpments and old packhorse bridges.
The guide book encourages
interaction and includes a quiz to help walkers get the most out of
their visit, with a final map challenge to test the grey matter.
The route visits thirteen different ‘dales’ and each one has one or
more rivers, becks or streams running through it. Crossing between dales
takes you over some wonderful high moorland and mountain terrain, past
remote tarns and the trail visits some of the most picturesque villages
anywhere in the country. The diversity of scenery and terrain makes this
path a firm favourite with everyone who has walked it.
The book itself is a 150-page guide that has everything a walker
could need to plan, prepare and walk the seven day route through
Yorkshire’s limestone country.
Detailed walking instructions take you step by step through the route, ensuring you can navigate with ease and confidence.
A comprehensive town and village guide provides information about the
facilities, services and amenities in each of the settlements the route
passes through, including public transport links to get to and from the
start.
