WALKING HOLIDAYS IN THE YORKSHIRE DALES
As Britain’s largest county, Yorkshire doesn’t do things by halves. Not least in the Yorkshire Dales. One of the UK’s biggest and best-loved national parks is cut through from north to south by the Pennines and rubs shoulders with the Lake District and Lancashire to the west.
Our Yorkshire Dales walking holidays give you the choice of gentle riverside strolls, challenging hill climbs, and long-distance trails. There’s a trio of peaks to conquer, too. What’s more, you’re never too far from tearoom-laden market towns that welcome you in after a long day on the fells.

What to see in the Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales offer a combination of natural wonders and charming villages. It's beauty has inspired works such as William Wordsworth's Gordale and Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies.
There are plenty of sightseeing greats within easy reach, most notably the glacial lake at Malham Tarn, the waterfalls of Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar, plus Malham Cove – the towering white limestone cliffs that formed millions of years ago. 
For an additional challenge, there's the 24-mile Three Peaks trail which allows hikers to conquer the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. When you're ready for a pit stop, the village of Malham at the southern base of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with its whitewashed cottages and stone bridges that span the River Aire, is the perfect place for a peaceful recharge after a walking day.
