Yorkshire Dales National Park

The Yorkshire Dales is an area of upland within Northern England. Much of the Dales was designated a National Park in 1954, and lies mostly within North Yorkshire, although part of it lies within Cumbria.

The Park covers an area of around 680 square miles and attracts over 8 million visitors a year. This is predominately down to the Dales’ stunning landscape, a collection of river valleys, hills and woodland. A place well-known for its range of walking activities, the Dales are crisscrossed by several long-distance walking routes such as the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast Path.
