Yorkshire Dales Walks
This page provides links to my walks done within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and any done in the surrounding areas just outside the park. Geographically speaking, I've taken the northern limit to be the Stainmore Gap which the A66 crosses, and the southern limit the Aire Gap taken by the A59. This includes the Howgill Fells, Mallerstang and the Leck and Middleton Fells. The decision was finally taken in early 2016 to extend the park boundaries to include these fells and took effect from August 2016. Also included is the Nidderdale AONB.
