The Yorkshire Dales is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. With deep valleys, limestone cliffs, dramatic waterfalls, picturesque villages, and lush greenery, you have so many incredible options for your trip to the countryside.
In this video we will show you 12 examples of some of the amazing places you could go for a walk in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the bordering area of Nidderdale. Our suggestions are based on walks we have enjoyed on our own trips to the Yorkshire Dales. We have tried to keep the selection varied in terms of sights and landmarks so hopefully you will find something that appeals to you.
