Yorkshire Dales 30 Pub Walks Guidebook

by: Len Markham
The 30 circular walks in this book vary in length from 2 to 8 miles and encompass the best of the Yorkshire Dales; with its green valleys, hills, moorland and woodland, all intersected by a labyrinth of footpaths and trails to suit all ages and every level of fitness. Each walk showcases some of the finest landscape in the region, and all come with a recommendation for a renowned local pub.

Featured local gems include England's highest single drop waterfall, Hardraw Force; the magnificent Ribblehead viaduct on the Settle-to-Carlisle railway; the tranquil village of Langthwaite; and the peacefully meandering waterway, Bishopdale Beck. Added to this list must be the fascinating Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes, the 500,000-year old Stump Cross Caverns near Appletreewick and Malham Tarn, one of the largest and most beautiful natural lakes in Yorkshire.

All walks include details on how to get to the start and where to park, Ordnance Survey map sheet numbers, starting point grid reference, post code, walk distance and terrain. There are clear numbered route finding instructions including a coloured sketch map with numbers cross referenced to the text. Points of interest along the way are also described. There is a short description of each pub including telephone number. The book includes numerous colour photographs including the pubs.
