The Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales is an area of great natural beauty in Northern England, a large part of which has been designated as one of England and Wales' ten national parks.

Much of the landscape here is limestone country; lush green valleys (known locally as "dales") crested with white limestone cliffs ("scars") cutting through wilder uplands beneath towering peaks ("fells") of dark millstone grit.

Throughout the Dales, fields and pastures are bounded by distinctive drystone walls which criss-cross the hillsides in elaborate patterns; set against the limestone cliffs and escarpments these walls (which were originally built by sheep farmers in days gone by) look almost a natural part of the limestone scenery as viewed today.

Treat yourself or someone special to this amazing experience:

"Dear Joe and Janet,

Jeff and I really enjoyed the Yorkshire Dales Trip although the two hours passed all too soon. The scenery was beautiful and as you said it would be despite the weather and we had a good laugh via the intercom. We will certainly be booking again for next year with our friends. Thanks again."
