Seasons

These routes are suitable for walking at all times of the year, although in winter and extremely wet weather, extra care will be needed on steep slopes and near rivers and waterfalls.

Centres

Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale are the main centres. The villages of Dent and Barbon also provide a range of more limited facilities.

Difficulty

The Yorkshire Dales comprise dales (valleys) but also steep hillsides from where extensive views can be enjoyed. Stoney tracks and paths tend to be the norm, rivers and streams are crossed on footbridges, and narrow ‘squeeze’ stiles pass through drystone walls.
