Yorkshire Dales

The Dales provides an excellent base for a self catering holiday with the ‘Great Outdoors’, offering some of the finest scenic walking in the whole country, taking in dales and valleys, streams and rivers and pretty Dales’ villages. The finest long distance walks pass through the Dales including the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast Walk, the Dales Way and the Ribble Way. For cyclists there is a network of byways and bridleways to enjoy away from busy roads including the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria Cycleways.

There are 1,769 square kilometres of national park and over 20 main dales to explore, with each one differing in character and atmosphere but all offering beautiful dramatic countryside.

Visit the many castles, abbeys and stately homes in the area during your stay, or spend a relaxing hour or two in one of the many ‘characterful’ Dales pubs which can be found tucked away in every corner.

And there will be no shortage of activities within easy reach of your holiday cottage whether it be potholing in limestone caves, climbing the local crags or fishing on e of the many beautiful rivers. The region’s family activities include the ‘Forbidden Corner’ in Coverdale and the renowned Wensleydale Creamery at Hawes. For those who enjoy something a little more strenuous, visit Ingleton Waterfalls Walk with its woodland and Dales’ scenery. And of course there is the impressive and towering ‘Three Peaks’ of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent which have been attracting walkers, climbers and ramblers for decades.

So whether it be a long weekend, short break or week long holiday we have a great selection of cottages and accommodation located all across the Yorkshire Dales for you to choose from.
