Walking the Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales is an incredibly beautiful part of the United Kingdom and it is a place where many people visit to enjoy walking across the National Park locations. It can be any area of harsh weather and weather that can change very quickly, so it is always best to pack a nice warm top like the Aran Sweaters from places like Shamrock Gift, even if it looks like it is set to be a nice sunny day.

There are three key peaks within the park and these are Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborugh and Whernside. A walking route is available that will take you to each one in a circular route that covers 24.5 miles and will take around 12 hours for you to complete.
