Welcome to a walking site devoted to Yorkshire, an area of
breath-taking scenery, historic cities, market towns and charming, sleepy
villages. The walks on the site vary from leisurely strolls by rivers to more
daunting day treks like the 3 peaks walk. Each walk includes detailed
instructions of the route, where to park, length of the walk, grade of the walk
with numerous photographs along the way. |

Why not make a weekend or even a week’s break out of
your walk. With over 3,500 places to stay, eat, drink, shop and attractions to
visit listed on this site, there is something to suit everyone.

The walks are mainly concentrated in the Yorkshire Dales
and the North York Moors, but there are also many village, river and coastal
walks included. The Yorkshire Dales, popularised by the television program
"All Creatures Great And Small", are a region of charming rural villages,
pastureland and meadows surrounded by high fells and moors. These are
interspersed with stone barns, dry stone walls, caves, potholes, waterfalls and
stunning limestone scenery centred around the three peaks (Ingleborough,
Whernside and Pen-y-ghent), which is probably the finest in Britain. The North
York Moors provide the largest expanse of heather upland in England on its vast
open moorland.
