This new, thoroughly updated edition of Yorkshire Dales, part of
Bradt's series of distinctive 'Slow' guides to local UK regions,
remains the most comprehensive guide to the area and covers the
whole of the recently extended Yorkshire Dales National Park and
Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as some
'slow' and historic towns and villages just outside the boundaries.
Dale by dale, each chapter covers wildlife, folklore, history and
local food and drink, and suggests routes to follow to see the best
of it all. Walking and cycling are included, as well as all the
attractions and advice needed for a memorable visit. Written by an
expert who has lived and worked in the area for over 30 years, the
guide draws from his personal experiences as an outdoor enthusiast,
naturalist and beer connoisseur. The Yorkshire Dales is famous
internationally for its caves, scenic rivers, waterfalls and
limestone flora but the lives and culture of the Dales folk that
live there are just as fascinating. These days the area is also
known for the Tour de Yorkshire, now firmly established as a hugely
popular annual cycling event. Ease the pace and discover the
delights of the north Pennines, where rivers from the limestone
uplands have forged the dales that give the region its name. Drop
in to the Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in Britain, where sheep
regularly find their way in to warm themselves by the roaring fire;
journey into the depths of Gaping Gill, one of the largest
underground chambers in Britain; or take a scenic rail trip on the
famous Settle-Carlisle line, crossing the longest railway viaduct
in the country at Ribblehead en route. The Yorkshire Dales offer
hundreds of square miles of open-access land to explore, popular
long-distance footpaths including the Pennine Way and Coast to
Coast Walk, renowned medieval castles such as Skipton and Richmond,
quaint stone villages and an exceptionally rich wildlife
particularly associated with clean rivers and limestone-pavement
flora. Discover all this and more with Bradt's Slow Travel
Yorkshire Dales, the perfect companion for a successful trip.
