Many characteristics of the Yorkshire Dales alter day by day, changing with the seasons, the weather & the hour-making the area an ideal destination for the walker. The unique limestone landscape encompasses vast expanses of high, lonely moor & respectable-sized hills, but it is the intricate web of valleys such as Wharfedale & Swaledale that gives the area its name. The Ice Age was crucial in moulding this landscape of wet upland bog to lush riverside meadows, green valleys & verdant woodl&. Spectacular waterfalls are another typical feature & this guide of 20 short walks in the Yorkshire Dales visits those at Aysgarth, Hardraw, Burton Force, Mill Gill & Catrigg Force.
