This #YorkshireDales walk from Kettlewell takes you up on to the fells above Starbotton and then down to Starbotton hamlet itself (good pub!) and back along the river. In my opinion, this is one of the most attractive areas of Wharfedale.

This #YorkshireDales walk explores remote Arkengarthdale starting from the pretty village of Langthwaite. Lovely views and interesting relics of the old lead mining industry. Who can resist a hamlet called Booze? See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/YorkshireDales/ArkengarthdalefromLangthwaite/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Arkengarthdale%20from%20Langthwaite.htm

Jervaulx Abbey - It was founded by French cistercians from the Roquefort region, who developed the cheese that would become Wensleydale.
The Abbey was heavily involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace and suffered badly as a consequence. It's a really romantic flower covered ruin today.
I had one of my best ever naps here one late summer afternoon 😴

Painted by many artists, including JMW Turner, Semerwater is 1 of only 2 natural #YorkshireDales lakes. It is in tranquil Raydale which the modern age seems to have passed by. This walk circles it & visits pretty Stalling Busk & its ruined church.

A warning to users of the A65, perhaps heading to the #YorkshireDales or #LakeDistrict that Yorkshire Water are shutting the road (again!) on the outskirts of Ilkley for 5/6 weeks from Monday 11 May 2026. Huge delays resulted last time.

This Settle round is a very popular #YorkshireDales walk. It’s a lovely, easy to follow route from Settle which shows off some magnificent limestone scenery, an impressive cave, views over Malham Tarn and dramatic Warrendale Knotts.

Whernside in the #YorkshireDales is the highest of the #Yorkshire Three Peaks at 2415ft. It differs from the others in having ‘whaleback’ profile & tarns at its summit. On this route you also get close up and personal to the famous Ribblehead Viaduct. See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/YorkshireDales/Whernside/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Whernside.htm

The Yorkshire Dales stays beautiful because people quietly show up for it.

Two walkers. Stranded at 8pm. No torches. Shorts, T-shirts, first time on a hill, inspired by a TikTok video.
Over 3,000 mountain rescue callouts in England and Wales last year. Spring's here and those numbers are only going up.
The fells are brill. They also don't care if you're underprepared.
Read this. Share it with someone who's just getting into hiking.

Elgar Was Here
Big numbers do heavy lifting. You have millions of experiences in a lifetime. You think thousands of thoughts a day. The odds of something lining up occasionally are not slim — they are enormous. The surprise is not that coincidences happen. It is that we are surprised. Or perhaps it is just Jung’s “synchronicity.”
I have never paid much heed to Edward Elgar. In a pub quiz I might ...

Warrendale Knotts and Attermire Scar
The scarps east of Settle rival any picture of the Dolomites. Vast columns of rock stand gaunt against the skyline, and in its shaded valleys, hill sheep regard the intruder with resentment and suspicion.
The geology is almost absurb. Warrendale Knotts is a dramatic cliff of shattered limestone crags along the Mid Cr ...

Pen-y-Ghent: Where Giants Trod
What a splendid view to stumble upon. Pen-y-Ghent, that stubborn Yorkshire monolith, standing proud above the limestone pavements of Winskill Stones, looking as though it has absolutely no intention of going anywhere.
A mountain with a name like that ought to come with legends attached, and Pen-y-Ghent does not disappoint. Stories of giants a ...

Langcliffe Quarry and its Hoffman Kiln
Langcliffe Quarry was once a place of serious industry, producing lime from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The remains of three types of kiln still stand here: the Triple Draw, the Hoffmann, and the Spencer. Together, they tell the story of how lime production lurched from the pre-industrial age into t ...

This is a relatively short #YorkshireDales walk from Rylstone to Boss Moor via the pretty village of Hetton, with an opportunity for a pub lunch at the Devonshire Arms at Cracoe. En route you get great views. Majority on clear tracks/lanes. See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/YorkshireDales/Rylstone%20to%20Boss%20Moor/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Rylstone%20to%20Boss%20Moor.htm

New from Gareth Williams: the Diccan Pot to Alum Pot exchange, and it might be his best film yet.
One of the Dales' most demanding wet potholes. Constant spray, thundering water, and a finale at the bottom of Alum Pot that's hard to forget.
Filmed with Kendal Caving Club.
⚠️ Experienced cavers only — consult the CNCC description before any trip.

New extension in Gavel Pot, Leck Fell: the Echo Chamber.
Months of digging through mud sumps beyond Glasfurd's Chamber by the Space Miners. Less than 100m of new passage, but the long straws and formations are stunning.
Now open. Conservation taping in place. Please take extreme care if you visit.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! ☘️
The Yorkshire Dales and Ireland's Burren share 340-million-year-old Carboniferous limestone.
But the Dales have 2,500+ caves and 400+ km of passage. The Burren, ~56 caves, but 25,000 hectares of exposed limestone pavement vs. our 1,052.
Same rock. Very different worlds.

Wall’s End, Calver Hill
Yesterday’s walk in Swaledale served up the full British weather menu — mist, mystery and a fleeting glimpse of actual sunshine.
Climbing out of Reeth up Arkengarthdale, we broke above the clouds into glorious blue skies. Descending Calver Hill, the mist swallowed us whole again. As it does.

Most walkers pass it every weekend without a second glance.
Sweet cicely (Myrrhis odorata) grows along the Dales' lanes and riverbanks. Crush the leaf, you'll smell aniseed. Historically used as a sweetener, a cough remedy, and even furniture polish.
Happy World Wildlife Day 🌿 The Dales are full of plants worth knowing.
