YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Yorkshire Dales
Malham’s limestone scenery
Malham Cove and the surrounding landscape are a natural focus for a walking day. Choose a route that fits your group; the steps, exposed ground and longer circuits are different propositions from a village stroll.
Wensleydale and Hawes
Hawes makes a useful stop for the surrounding dale and its food heritage. Combine the town with one nearby walk or attraction instead of treating all of Wensleydale as a quick detour.
Grassington and Wharfedale
Grassington’s stone-built streets provide a base for browsing and exploring Wharfedale. Look at riverside routes and village-to-village outings, checking distance and ground conditions before you commit.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Hawes, Grassington and Settle offer different selections of independent food shops, outdoor supplies and small businesses. Buy provisions where your route naturally passes rather than assuming every village has a full supermarket.
Planning your holiday in Yorkshire Dales
Roads between dales can be narrow and slower than a map suggests. Check walking routes, livestock guidance and parking before setting out, particularly when taking a dog.
Choosing where to stay
Choose a base in the dale you most want to explore, then add neighbouring valleys as separate days out.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
