Dales Way

This charming walk runs for 79 miles from Ilkley in the Yorkshire Dales to Bowness in the Lake District. The LDWA has documented Link Routes for walkers beginning in Leeds, Harrogate and Bradford. Along the Way, you'll see impressive railway viaducts and fine stone bridges; Bolton Priory and many small churches; limestone scenery with stone walls, hay meadows and lime kilns; and heritage centers you can visit. Above all, the route is blessed with many small villages with B&Bs and welcoming pubs at strategic intervals. Gradients are modest and most people will complete it comfortably in 6 or 7 days.
