Why take this tour?

Step just outside of the Lake District and discover some of the most outstandingly beautiful scenery anywhere in Britain on this popular Yorkshire Dales tour. You will see absolutely breathtaking scenery, spectacular waterfalls, vast, open moors and narrow roads which wind up to incredible views stretching down the Dales for miles and miles. You can walk the cobbled streets of a tiny village packed with tales, legends and history; stroll through a bustling traditional Dales market town and even see the romantic ruined castle where a Queen was imprisoned. Dry stone walls, the traditional Dales cow byres and whitewashed farms dot the landscape where the native breed sheep and cattle wander. Away from the crowds and the bustle you will fall in love with this remarkable, timeless place and the friendly people you will meet. Spectacular views everywhere you look and just a short drive from the Lake District.
