Walking in the Yorkshire Dales
This is split into several sections covering my favourite walking areas
Littondale in Winter / Malham Cove
The Yorkshire Dales provide one of the best walking areas in the country covering a wide variety of scenery and some isolated locations. I have included the walks which I do on a regular basis together with a number of photographs. Included in the section are walks in the vicinity of Ribblehead , covering the Three Peaks area; Wharfedale , the most popular walking location in the Dales; Nidderdale which provides a few excellent upland walks; Washburn Valley outstanding scenery and reservoirs but yet close to Leeds; Swaledale with it's scenery and mining heritage; Ilkley Moor with open moorland and carved rocks; Middleton Fells an upland area on it's own between the Dales and the Lake District; Malham a much visited area; and finally Coverdale an off-shoot of Wensleydale
This section covers a few trails mainly in the midlands and north of England which are suitable for families and those who prefer a quieter or traffic free roads without severe gradients
Scarborough to Whitby at Ravenscar / Manifold Trail at Thor's Cave
