The 7 wonders of the Yorkshire Dales

Yorkshire Dales·Susan Briggs· 1 minute

If you had to choose Seven Wonders of the Yorkshire Dales, what would they be?

My suggestions change all the time. At the moment they’re:

1. The Swaledale hay meadows

2. Gordale Scar and the limestone pavements

3. Settle to Carlisle Railway and Ribblehead Viaduct

4. The miles and miles of dry stone walls and field barns - can't decide on my favourite location but Littondale, Arkengarthdale and Wensleydale all come close

5. Jervaulx Abbey

6. The Middleham to Kettlewell road, and countless spots along the way

7. Walks around Reeth and a treat from Two Dales Bakery (yes, pastries should be treated as wonders as well as landscapes and buildings)

When I posted this on facebook, many others jumped in to agree, disagree and suggest others. What do you think?
