Windswept fell-tops, ancient ruins, tranquil riverside pastures and the singular beauty of sculptured limestone - the Yorkshire Dales make for an iconic English landscape, and one of the country's best places to explore on foot. From the grandeur of the Three Peaks and spectacular Malham to the lonely heights above Wensleydale and the sleepy valleys of the north and west, Dominic North's forty circular routes blend a fresh perspective on the acknowledged classics with the wild and overlooked. A superb introduction to the National Park for visitors, and a treasure trove of the unexpected for those already in love with the Dales, covering Nidderdale and Wharfedale, Malham, Littondale and Upper Wharfedale, The Three Peaks and Ribbesdale from the Howgills to Hawes, Lower Wensleydale and Swaledale.
