Dales Way

The Dales Way extends for 80 miles through riverside paths, crossing Yorkshire Dales National Park and ending at Lake Windermere in Cumbria.

The trail incorporates sections of ancient packhorse routes and passes multiple Victorian railway viaducts constructed during the 19th century railway expansion.

Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices along the trail, managing sheep herds and preserving stone walls that define Yorkshire field boundaries.

Numerous bed and breakfasts, hotels, and camping sites provide accommodation options, with regular railway stations connecting major sections of the route.

The path follows the complete course of River Wharfe from its middle section to its source, revealing geological formations and water features.
