Your visit starts here
Why not call in at one of our National Park Centres in Grassington, Malham, Reeth, Hawes and Aysgarth Falls for the perfect start to your trip.
Each is in a beautiful setting and you’ll find plenty to do close by to make a real day of it.
Our knowledgeable staff can help with all the information you need - what to do, where to stay and all the happenings in 2012 (see our event pages 15-25). You can also shop for that perfect souvenir, from jams to woolly hats!
The National Park has nearly 1,500km of footpaths to explore, from gentle strolls to real leg stretchers - including the long distance Pennine Way and Dales Way - as well as being home to the famous Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside.
Discover a feat of Victorian engineering at Ribblehead Viaduct and remains of the former lead mining industry in Swaledale and Arkengarthdale.
Let the splendour of the natural limestone amphitheatre of Malham Cove or the enchantment of ancient Freeholders’ Wood when bluebells are in bloom take your breath away.
Be sure to enjoy it all at your own pace.
