Have you walked the Dales Way? Or perhaps part of it? It's an 80 mile long route which is well signposted. The Dales Way Association suggest it's a good introduction for less experienced walkers to long distance walking. The route passes through some truly gorgeous parts of the Yorkshire Dales: Bolton Abbey, Burnsall, Linton, Grassington, Kettlewell, Buckden, Hubberholme, Cowgill, Dent and Sedbergh.
Many of us love the tranquility and wildlife to be found by a river or stream, and that's perhaps one of the reasons that the Dales Way is so popular. It's effectively a series of river walks. Some of the tracks it follows are ancient routes, once used by drovers and traders.
The Dales Way is rich in geological features and birdlife - expect to spot kingfishers, dippers, oystercatchers, and curlews.
Even if you haven't walked the whole route, chances are you've enjoyed following a part of it since the Dales Way goes through some of the most popular parts of the Yorkshire Dales. Do you have a favourite stretch?
