Yorkshire Dales Short Walking Holiday

The Yorkshire Dales has many areas; it can be wild and windswept or beautifully green and peaceful.
Each valley or ‘dale’ has its own distinct character, set against expansive heather moorland tops.

38 miles of rolling dales. Walking from Otley, through Pateley Bridge and onto Middleham, over three medium walking days.

Walking from the ancient market town of Otley on the river Wharfe, we make our way North and into Washburndale, whose river has been dammed to created the three reservoirs which we pass. Then climbing out of Washburndale and over and into Nidderdale and to the small market town of Pateley Bridge. From here we follow the River Nidd before once again leaving one Dale for another and enter the little-known Dale of Colsterdale. From here we walk up and over some beautiful moorland before passing the watershed and descending to Wensleydale. We pass the 12th Century Jervaulx Abbey and here we follow the River Ure upstream to the River Cover which we follow for a few miles before we ascend the brow of a hill and the impressive Middleham castle is spread out before us.

We walk through Six Dales to the East of the National park. walking through small villages and towns and staying in some great accommodation.The holiday walks from inn to inn and we move the baggage on for you.

This is one of the best places to walk in Britain, rolling dales, dry stone walls and buildings all with the glorious Yorkshire Landscapes.
