There are plenty of places to visit in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, including Kilnsey Crag and Grassington, both of which offer scenic walks with fantastic views. Historic Skipton, Settle and Ingleton in the South and Masham and Ripon in the North are all excellent places to stay while you're in the area.

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a stunningly beautiful area of England. It's a great place to visit if you're looking for an outdoor adventure with plenty of scenic views. It covers an area of around 840 square miles and is home to a wide range of different geological features, including limestone cliffs, dramatic river valleys and rugged moorlands.

Malham Cove is a popular spot in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The dramatic limestone cliffs rise to a height of 80 metres and provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Nearby Goredale Scar is a dramatic cleft in the rocks which terminates in a difficult and often wet scramble to the limestone plateau above.

Top Yorkshire Dales Attractions

The historic Settle to Carlisle railway journey is a must-do for travellers in the area. The trip takes passengers through stunning scenery, including rolling hills and deep valleys. The journey also passes through villages and small towns, giving visitors a glimpse of life in the area and a chance to experience its unique culture. Saved from closure both in the 1960s (due to the deteriorating condition of the famous Ribblehead Viaduct) and again in the 1980s (following falling passenger numbers due to the closure of many of the smaller stations and diversion of mainline trains) 

Much of the area's underlying geology is limestone, and caves (along with pavements, clints and grykes) are common. Among the most famous are the show caves at Stump Cross, Ingleborough and White Scar, one of the longest show caves in the country. More natural caves include Gaping Gill, with its 98-meter drop and Long Churn Cave, with its famous 'Cheesepress' squeeze.
