Top Things to do in Yorkshire Dales National Park
The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
One visit to the Yorkshire Dales and it’s easy to understand why the unspoiled countryside is the setting of so many novels. Must-see sights among the land’s lush woodlands and expansive moors include Hardraw Force (the longest single-drop waterfall in the North), Gordale Scar, and well-known hill range, the Three Peaks. Less adventurous visitors can rest easy, walking through the manicured lawns of Parcevall Hall Gardens or appreciating Skipton Castle’s medieval architecture. Although some prefer to take in the land’s wild beauty by foot or horse, the most popular way is via one of the park’s famed cycling routes.

Not my first visit, but the first time back in decades. Just as stunning as I remember it being, right from the first views at the bottom of the cove. Well worth the climb to the top if you’re fit enough - we enjoyed a lovely picnic once up and great views, plus the limestone pavement is best seen up close from the top and can’t really be viewed any other way. Shame on those tourists who think it’s OK to push their litter in among the rocks. :( just take it home!! It’s lighter when you’ve eaten the contents so much easier and more compact to carry!!! Lovely flora and fauna to be seen along the walk. It’s also nice to continue and make it a circular walk if you have time, returning via Goredale Scar. The walk was quieter away from the cove too. Pity there were a few people who seemed totally unaware of social distancing and ploughed their way through, but for the most part, people were courteous and willing to wait at gates, narrow parts etc. It’s a stunning natural feature and a must if visiting the area.

A lovely unspoilt church with “mousey Thompson” furniture and many original, interesting artifacts. The view of Buckden Pike behind the altar is charming.

I have been visiting this church and the stepping stones nearby since I was a baby. It is a beautiful place to visit. If I ever get married it would be my first choice. I love it here.

Burnsall is a beautiful dales village and the grade 1 listed church of st wilfred's is no exception. Stone sculptures with connections to the vikings are exhibited at the back of the church. The building itself is picture postcard material. It forms just small part of why this village in the dales is much loved and visited. Dont forget the Red Lion and the lovely riverside walk to Linton falls and Grassington, via the rope bridge. There are great village cafe's and the owner's are really welcoming. Plenty car parking too!

Testing the Yorkshire peaks for later in the year, and found the place to be amazing, if you're considering this with a break midway the Station Inn is great

Had a drive out to find some snow. Buttertubs pass is a fantastic stretch of road with breathtaking scenery on every corner. Very beautiful snow scenes, so impressive. I never get board having a drive out though the Dales, just love taking in all the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
