Way
 The
Dales Way meanders through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to the shores
of Windermere in the Lake District.
Beginning at the little
stone town of Ilkley, the Dales Way follows the River Wharfe to its source
on Cam Fell, past the romantic ruin of Bolton Priory and the pretty villages
of Burnsall, Grassington, Kettlewell and Buckden. Beyond Cam Fell, the
trail follows the River Dee through the charming village of Dent, with
its narrow cobbled streets, to the old market town of Sedbergh nestling
beneath the steep slopes of the Howgill Fells. At Sedbergh, the Dales
Way leaves the Yorkshire Dales and with the mountains of the Lake District
crowning the horizon.
