From £525 per person
The Three Dales Way weaves in sections of the Dales Way and the Pennine Way to explore some of the finest limestone scenery in Yorkshire. The trail follows the beautiful valleys of Wharfedale, Littondale and Malhamdale, sinking deep into farmland split by drystone walls and overlooked by limestone shelves.
It’s the perfect way to get a real taste of Yorkshire when time is at a premium, and even includes the unmistakeable cliffs of towering Gordale Scar.
Visiting some of the many charming villages of the Dales, including Burnsall, Grassington and Malham.
Marvelling at the natural wonders of Malham Tarn, England’s highest lake; Malham Cove; and Gordale Scar, a gigantic collapsed cave system.
Wandering through Littondale to the rushing waters of the River Skirfare.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:

“Particularly enjoyed being able to eat our evening meal in our accommodation since we were in pubs each evening.”Mrs Gray, UK
“Yorkshire Dales looking at their best, full of wildflowers and birdsong. The good weather helped as well. A really good route, one which is ideal for anyone considering walking longer distance trails, a bit of everything without being too strenuous. Ideal for all categories of walkers. Completely dog friendly which most breed of dog should manage. I have already completed about a dozen over the last few years and hope to complete a couple more next year.”Mr Twigg, UK
