A walk through the Yorkshire Dales from the village of Saltaire to the town of Appleby-in-Westmorland.
From £370 per person
The Dales High Way follows ancient drovers' ways, packhorse tracks and green lanes through the Yorkshire Dales, taking in some of the most beautiful scenery the region has to offer. The trail traverses rolling dales, quiet moors, secluded valleys and mighty peaks, the latter offering breath-taking views over the surrounding countryside.
Not only does this walk showcase the wonderful geology of the Yorkshire Dales, including limestone crags and cascading waterfalls, but it also boasts plenty of interesting history to uncover, with landmarks of note including Neolithic stone carvings, Skipton Castle and the famous Ribblehead Viaduct.
