Find out how to get to the Yorkshire Dales, where to park, the things to see and do and more.
The moorlands, meadows and valleys of the Yorkshire Dales are criss-crossed by miles of paths. Among them, you'll find numerous routes for walking, running and cycling.
Explore this special place on foot. Discover a dramatic, open area of limestone pavement and grassland, high peaks and rocky outcrops.
There’s also the Tarn itself, serenely calm one day, dramatically grey and rough the next. This amazing expanse of open water is part of the Malham Tarn National Nature Reserve. It’s internationally important for the variety of flowers and other wildlife found here.
Take a gentle stroll along the River Wharfe or stride out onto the higher peaks like Buckden Pike or Old Cote Moor.
See some of the best wild flower meadows in the country around Yockenthwaite, or saunter through colourful fellside woodland. Wherever you choose to go you’ll get amazing views, and leave with a wish to return another day.
There are lots of footpaths to explore at Hudswell Woods; wander along the riverbank, or be a little more adventurous and head into the woodland.
From uphill climbs to more level distance runs, there's a different challenge on every route. With some of the best wildflower meadows in the country, windswept moors, colourful woodland and rugged limestone pavement there's always something to see with each new season.
Whether you want an energetic cycle ride to get the blood pumping or a gentle social ride with friends and family, there are routes and inspiring countryside to suit every style of cycling.
