The Dales Way is, in essence, a riverside route crossing the spectacular Yorkshire Dales National Park. It connects the urban fringe of Ilkley to the shores of Windermere in the Lake District by way of Wharfedale, Dentdale and Eastern Lakeland. It follows valley paths through superb limestone scenery, high moorland and traditional stone villages, and the wildlife along the way is rich and varied. Choose from the Complete Guided Trail or take it more leisurely and select the Guided Northern or Guided Southern section of the Trail.
