Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales and a dazzling backdrop of scenic
contrasts. From sweeping moorlands and fertile valleys, to dramatic
limestone scars and peaks, each Dale has its own special landscape
and unique character. Boasting two Areas of Outstanding Natural
Beauty and a National Park, plus a myriad of other attractions -
little wonder our Yorkshire Dales holiday cottages are ever
popular.
Lovers of the 'Great Outdoors' are in for a treat, with
hill walking, fell running, climbing, caving, potholing, mountain
biking, canoeing - and more. Climb the Three Peaks in Ribblesdale.
Walk the Pennine Way or the Coast to Coast Path. Follow the Pennine
Bridleway or the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Explore the Forest of
Bowland or the Bolton Abbey Estate.
Don't forget to browse our Inspire Me pages, filled with
useful suggestions for how to spend your holiday and a
travel guide to the Yorkshire Dales, from
things to do, places to eat and drink, events to attend and
much more.
History and natural beauty in the Yorkshire Dales
Crave less action? Get close to nature and admire an array of
flora and fauna. Or sit back and soak up this magical setting with
a trip on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, crossing the impressive 24
arches of the Ribblehead Viaduct along the way.
Browse historic towns and villages brimming with character,
noted for speciality shops, cobbled streets, olde-worlde inns and,
quite often, traditional street markets. Settle, Skipton,
Grassington, Pateley Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale, Richmond
and Barnard Castle, to name a few.
Feeling peckish? Sample Wensleydale cheese fresh from the local
creamery at Hawes and the finest limestone beef from local
farmers' markets.
What else? Castles, abbeys, country houses, museums, art
galleries, health spas, summer festivals, country fairs -
they're all here.
So, whether you seek adventure or solitude, do take a look at
our inviting collection of Yorkshire Dales
cottages.
