“We enjoyed the contrasting landscapes that we journeyed over, the changing views & the highlights, such as Malham Cove & the many waterfalls. We were pleased to see the absence of litter on the route & in the towns & villages. Luggage transfer by Sherpa worked like clockwork. The taxis also worked well & were flexible. I would rate River House as one of the best B&Bs that I have stayed in.”Mr Hind, UK
“Great walk. Good quality accommodation all near to walk.”Mrs Basford, UK
“The walk involved a route of hillwalking during the day, with occasional descents into the dales, with lodging in the dales at night.
