Pick Your Dale

  • Nidderdale — the local AONB: Brimham Rocks' natural sculptures and How Stean Gorge

  • Grassington & Burnsall — the postcard Dales villages
  • Malham — the Cove and Gordale Scar for the ambitious day
  • Waterfall country — Ingleton and Aysgarth further afield

Evenings return you to restaurants and hot water — the civilised way to do the Dales with a group of 10.
