Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales is an upland area of the Pennines in the historic county of Yorkshire, England, most of it in the Yorkshire Dales National Park created in 1954.The Dales comprise river valleys and the hills rising from the Vale of York westwards to the hilltops of the Pennine watershed. In Ribblesdale, Dentdale and Garsdale, the area extends westwards across the watershed, but most of the valleys drain eastwards to the Vale of York, into the Ouse and the Humber. The extensive limestone cave systems are a major area for caving in the UK and numerous walking trails run through the hills and dales.

Stunning views and tiny villages, you can travel for miles and hardly see any one. Small villages with amazing walks, well worth just getting in the car and just drive without a plan and see where you end up

Myself and my wife visited the Dales for a mini 5 day break in June and having never visited before can safely say it blew us away! The scenery is absolutely stunning and the entire area was just outstanding natural beauty. A tip from me is get on the Yorkshire Dales official Web site and have a look at the pre planned driving routes around the area, we did 3 in total and they are a perfect way to take in all the sights in a very relaxing but fun driving way. Loved the place and will return again.

Really nice area to visit. Seen Janet's Foss and Gordale scar. Has a mythical vibe to it. Then a tasty feed at lister arms pub 👌

One of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places in the UK. Steeped in cultural history, from the traditional sustainable farming to placenames with Viking origins. Some of the most dramatic and enjoyable walking in England.
