Walking |

North Yorkshire.
Covering over 3,000
square miles this is
England's largest rural
county and is a vast and
varied countryside that
can leave the walker
truly spoilt for choice.
The Yorkshire Dales is,
outside of the Lake
District, England's most
popular walking area
comprising of a number
of dales formed from the
Pennine ridge that
provides the backbone of
England. The landscape
here varies from lush,
green limestone pastures
to high heather moorland
and blanket peat bog
with some of the highest
hills of the Pennine
chain. Here each dale,
be it great or small,
has its own character
and personality making
them addictive to
explore on foot.

will treat you very gently. |
