Six Dales Trail
The Six Dales Trail explores some of the most beautiful, yet little-known countryside in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Six Dales Trail runs northwards from the ancient market town of Otley in Wharfedale through Washburndale, Nidderdale, Colsterdale and Coverdale to the little market town of Middleham in Wensleydale. Along the way the trail passes through some delightful Dales scenery – sheep-grazed pastures bordered by drystone walls, heather moors with gritstone outcrops, exuberant streams, ancient stone-built villages, broadleaf woodland, tranquil rivers, and landscaped parkland.
Highlights of the walk include the many wonderful views across the Dales; bluebell woods; the amazing variety of old stone stiles; the riverside paths; the ginnels and cobbled side-streets around Otley’s Buttercross Market; the atmospheric ruin of Jervaulx Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1156; the imposing ruin of Middleham Castle, the childhood home of Richard III; Leeds Pals Memorial, a monument to the volunteers or ‘Pals’ from Leeds who went off to fight in the Great War; tranquil Guisecliff Tarn; the pretty village of Ramsgill with it’s spacious green surrounded by stone cottages with flower-filled gardens; the diverse birdlife; the extraordinary variety of wildflowers within the walls of Jervaulx Abbey; and the bustling little town of Pateley Bridge.
