Walk the Yorkshire Dales, John and Judi
Johnson - Many of Yorkshire's half a million acres are over 600 metres,
peaking at more than 700 metres above sea level. These are wild, bleak and
barren places, commanding heights of peat moor and limestone crag,
windswept, inspiring and dramatic. But for all these glorious uplands it's
the dales - the valleys - which truly catch the imagination. As Cumbria
has its Lake District, and Derbyshire its Peak District, so Yorkshire is
justifiably famous for its 'valley district'; The Yorkshire Dales. We
can't guarantee the warmth of the sun, but we can just about cast-iron
guarantee the warmth of the welcome to anyone who's come to enjoy our
beautiful dales. To those of us lucky enough to live here, it's simply
God's Own Country, and we enjoy talking about it as much as we enjoy
walking it and sharing it. If you are a stranger in the Dales, you won't
stay that way for long. All 40 walking routes include: walking route
summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance Ascents/Descents !
Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk description including
frequent timings to aid navigation and check your progress, GPS waypoints
at every key point on every route, full colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance
Survey licenced mapping for each route, short walk and stroll
alternatives. Includes a Place Name Index and has a Wire-O spiral
binding allowing the book to lay flat and be folded back on itself without
damage. Published January 06. |

Spectacular waterfalls are another typical feature and this guide of 20 short walks in the Yorkshire Dales visits those at Aysgarth, Hardraw, Burton Force, Mill Gill and Catrigg
Force. Published March 12.

The Yorkshire Dales: South and West, Dennis
and Jan Kelsall - Few areas in England are so completely and immediately
appealing as that central portion of the Pennines known as the Yorkshire
Dales. Even today, many of the valleys remain relatively isolated from

character. The ancient arteries of paths, trackways and narrow lanes are
an integral part of that charm and invite leisurely roaming on a journey
of personal discovery. This book guides you on an exploration of the dales
and surrounding hills and moors. More than 40 walks, ranging from gentle
two-mile strolls to more strenuous day-long rambles, seek out the area's
most attractive and fascinating features. Everywhere are stunning views
and panoramic scenery and intriguing geological formations, characteristic
of the Dales. Published May 08.

Complete Guide to the Trail.
Terry Marsh - This is a fully-updated new edition of this multi-day walk
through the Yorkshire Dales and the eastern fringe of the Lake District
between Ilkely and Bowness on Windermere, a total of 78 miles. This is the
only guide available which describes the route in both directions. The
Dales Way is one of the gentlest multi-day walks in Britain, suitable for
all ages and an excellent introduction to long-distance walking. The route
makes the most of delectable Wharfedale, travelling virtually to the
source of the great river before crossing into the equally delightful
Dentdale. This too is followed as it fashions a lovely course through the
village of Dent and on to Sedbergh, where it joins the Rawthey. From here,
the Way strikes westward into the fringe of Lakeland. The great attraction
of the Dales Way is that it is rarely far from features of architectural,
social, ecological or historic interest - churches, ancient bridges, manor
houses, shooting lodges, Roman roads, stone circles, packhorse routes,
viaducts and nature trails - the Dales Way has them all. Limited availability. Published April
