Things to do when staying in North Yorkshire hotels

The magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park offering dramatic scenery and spectacular walks literally from many Yorkshire Dales hotels doorsteps

.

For any walking abilities there are footpaths, peaks and trails to suit anyone including the famous Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-Y-Ghent and Ingleborough.

Also in the immediate locality is some of the most dramatic limestone scenery in Europe, including the Ingleborough Cave, with its dazzling stalactites and stalagmites. Gaping Gill, the most dramatic of North Yorkshire's pot holes, where water hurtles down in a single jet over 365ft to the floor. Another nearby natural feature is Malham Cove. Once a waterfall and now an impressive cliff topped by an extensive area of limestone pavement.

A short drive away is the picturesque market town of Kirkby Lonsdale with walks along the Lune Valley to the famous Ruskin's View, with magnificent views of the hills beyond, and just a short walk from the town centre is the dramatic Devil's Bridge.

The renowned Settle to Carlisle Railway passing through some of the most spectacular Dales & Lakeland landscapes including the Ribblehead Viaduct is a popular day out with Settle being just 5 miles away.
