Malham Cove, Malham Tarn, Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss can all be found in Malhamdale, and you can spend a few hours walking around the village and surrounding landscape. From lush waterfalls to spectacular rock formations, Malhamdale has some really great views for walkers!
The Yorkshire Three Peaks
https://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/yorkshire-three-peaks
The ultimate Yorkshire hiking challenge. The Yorkshire Three peaks are Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough and cover around 25 miles, with 1585m (5200ft) of ascent.
The challenge is to cover the distance in under 12 hours, and we’re under an hour away from the various starting points, so ideal if you need a place to stay before or after your challenge.
Looking for a more leisurely way to tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks? Make a weekend of it! You could climb a peak a day, or 2 peaks one day and the 3rd peak the next.
Bolton Abbey & The Devonshire Estate

There are loads of great walks around Bolton Abbey, including family trails, woodland walks, riverside rambles and more. There’s plenty of lovely tea shops and cafes around the village, as well as the stepping stones across the River Wharfe and The Priory ruins.
Barden Moor, Simon’s Seat and The Valley of Desolation are all more strenuous walks you can start from Bolton Abbey.
