Dales Way

Product Description

This is the 2012 edition of one of the first guidebooks to this classic walk. The Dales Way is one of Britain's favourite long-distance walks, running from Ilkley in Wharfedale, through the Yorkshire Dales National Park to a delightful conclusion on the shores of Windermere in the Lake District National Park. At 80 miles in length & generally easy going, the Dales Way makes an ideal introduction to long-distance walking, being comfortably walkable within a week's holiday. It is well waymarked throughout & spends many miles on delectable riverbanks & passing through some archetypal Dales villages. An additional bonus is that each end of the route is accessible by rail. After a re-survey of the entire route in Spring 2012, numerous changes & improvements have been made to this already well-used guide, which now

Includes:: a stunning collection of more than 50 full colour photographs depicting the countless memorable features & landscapes along the way. The three link routes from Leeds, Bradford & Harrogate are also described. Concise route descriptions are complemented by a wealth of background information, with an introductory section dealing with planning the walk, including useful addresses, contacts & essential services; also an extremely useful log section.
