Famous for being one of the most stunning areas of England, the Yorkshire Dales National Park is known around the world for it’s unspoilt landscapes. Appreciated for it’s delightful river valleys, farmland bordered by dry stone walls and windswept moorland, the Dales is a very special special tourist destination.
The ideal choice for either a short break or a week away, the Dales actually cover an area of just under 700 square miles and so finding your ideal Yorkhsire Dales hotel can seem a little daunting at first! However, the Yorkhsire Dales is incredibly well geared up to cater for visitors which makes the search a whole lot easier. Here are a few ideas on great places to stay to help you narrow down your hotel search!
The Dales National Park covers a large area of North Yorkshire, from Wharefdale in the south right up to Swaledale in the north. The Yorkshire Dales are very well served by transport links which makes getting about very easy, either by car or by using the excellent public transport services on offer.
If you’re just planning on visiting the Dales for a weekend or short stay, it would probably be best to find a Yorkshire Dales hotel that is close to one of the small towns or villages within easy reach of the National Park. The Yorkshire Dales region has many lovely market towns to choose from, each with it’s own unique character. Aysgarth and Hawes, for example, are at the very north of the National Park and are wonderful places for exploring the wild beauty of the Dales landscape.
Easily reached by public transport from Leeds and Bradford, you’ll find the gorgeous villages of Malham and Grassington. A real highlight of the southern Dales, this area also boasts the delightful Bolton Abbey estate, Yorkhsire home of the Devonshire family. With it’s unusual landscape of limestone pavements and rocky valleys, the southern Dales are well worth a visit.
Of course where you choose to stay in the Dales will probably depend a great deal on what you like to do whilst on holiday! A wonderful place to relax and unwind in, the Yorkshire Dales National Park is also a haven for those who like nothing better than getting out and about and enjoying some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK.
If hill walking is your thing you’ll be spoilt for choice: the famous Yorkshire three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough are all in the National Park and offer a not-to-be-missed opportunity for anyone looking for a strenuous challenge!
Each area of the Dales boast its own diverse scenery and character; Bolton Abbey in Lower Wharefedale is set amongst beautiful woodland on the banks of the River Wharfe whilst Reeth in the northern Dales nestles in wild moorland. Finding the perfect Yorkshire Dales hotel should be pretty straightforward as the region as whole boasts some fantastic accommodation.
