111 Places in the Yorkshire Dales That You Shouldn´t Miss

The Yorkshire Dales is a special corner of Britain, combining beautiful countryside, charming villages and prosperous market towns, revealed in this guide through hidden places and unexpected stories.

The Yorkshire Dales is a truly special corner of Britain, offering a glorious mix of beautiful countryside, charming villages and prosperous market towns. It’s a place to climb high peaks or venture deep underground, and to enjoy local arts and crafts, good food and locally made drinks. This book explores a quirkier side of the Dales and includes 11 carefully chosen walks to help you discover it on foot. Find out where a queen lost a valuable item of clothing, visit the world’s smallest art gallery, take on the Three Peaks Challenge, meet a jolly gang of scarecrows and learn how to forecast the weather the Yorkshire way. Along the way you can explore fictional villages and their real-life inspirations, meet a god trapped forever in stone, follow in Robin Hood’s footsteps (and perhaps glimpse his bare bottom), party like it’s 1959 in an authentic American diner and search for Yorkshire’s own Atlantis beneath a lake. Written by an author with deep local knowledge, this guide reveals the many hidden splendors of the Yorkshire Dales.
