Autumn at Skipton Castle

The Yorkshire Dales are famous for their rolling hills, dramatic landscapes and striking scenery, boasting a wide variety of woodland, moorland and farm land. Walkers and lovers of the outdoors will find no end of things to do, as the entire area is criss-crossed with footpaths and cycle routes - although thankfully, without damaging the natural beauty of the area. Water sports and even pot-holing can be found across the region, making it ideal for adventurers as well as gentle ramblers!

The Dales are populated by small market towns and villages, mostly retaining a traditional English look and feel. Grassington and Hawes are definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a peaceful stop or a meal out.
