A self-guided walking holiday through the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park.
From £410 per person
The Dales Way meanders through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to the shores of Windermere in the Lake District. On a self-guided holiday along the Dales Way, you’ll enjoy a vast range of beautiful Yorkshire landscapes, including colourful moorland, tranquil riversides, rugged fells and quiet valleys.
The walk explores a range of pretty towns and villages and offers glimpses into the region’s past, including the ruins of Bolton Abbey and Barden Tower. The trail then leaves the Yorkshire Dales and heads towards Windermere, passing through rolling farmland framed by the impressive mountains of the Lake District, providing a satisfying end to a remarkable trail.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £540 per person
The Dales Way Highlights tour takes in arguably the most rewarding section of the Dales Way between Burnsall and Sedbergh. The trail explores the beautiful scenery of Wharfedale Valley and visits several wonderful settlements, including Grassington, Kettlewell and Dent.
Each town and village boasts its own charm and unique history begging to be discovered. The walk comes to its completion in Sedbergh, a wonderful market town resting at the foot of the Howgill Fells. This is the perfect walking holiday for those wishing to sample the rolling beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
