The Yorkshire Dales - South and West (Cicerone Guide)

guidebook to walking the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, with 40 walks, including the Yorkshire Three Peaks. This first volume covers the southern and western dales of Ribblesdale, Littondale, Malhamdale, Dentdale and Wharfedale. Few areas in England are as completely and immediately appealing as the Yorkshire Dales. Each valley has a character of its own, and this intimate and varied landscape harmonises, as nowhere else in the country, the work of nature and the hand of man. This guide takes you on an exploration of the dales and surrounding hills and moors within the southern and western quarters of the region, where you will find some of the most remarkable limestone landscape in the country. Walks ranging from gentle two-mile strolls to more strenuous day-long rambles seek out the area's most attractive and fascinating features. All routes are illustrated with OS mapping. This is the first volume of a two-volume walking guide to the entire Yorkshire Dales.
