The Yorkshire Dales National Park is full of unspoilt natural beauty, wonderful wildlife and its rich cultural heritage. Offering a treasure trove of delights from its high purple-heathered fells and ancient broadleaf woodland, to its fascinating historical sites and industrial past, the Dales is teeming with interest for the visitor.
This peaceful farming landscape remains a favourite destination for hillwalkers, who come to enjoy the bridleways up and down dale, and where the mark of civilisation enhances rather then detracts from the scene. Old mine workings are scattered on the landscape as testament to the Dales’ once booming industry, and the husks of great abbeys suggest their power in former times.
