Trail reviews for Yorkshire Dales National Park
Great Shunner Fell the third-highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales, at 716 metres (2,349 ft) above sea level. In clear weather the summit affords views of Wensleydale to the south, Ribblesdale to the southwest and Swaledale to the north, as well as views into Cumbria and County Durham beyond the Lovely Seat 675 metres (2,215 feet) the second peak on the trail. The trail is easy to navigate, in good condition there is not a problem but when wet I can imagine it will be boggy in areas. At the top of Shunner when going back down go through the gate then turn right. I didn't but hopped the fence at the bottom. The last few miles is a road walk but the views are amazing, and you pass the Buttertubs.
A beautiful hike around the Yorkshire dales stunning views.
One of my best Yorkshire Dales walks ever! If you like your rugid mooreland, semi challenging walks - this is for you. We did need to scramble up quite a bit to get to the yarn, but once there, a beautiful place to stop for a break. Views were amazing. Car park is just past the camping ground entrance and probably space for 5 cars, so come early (and try to drive over Bittertubs Pass for phenomenal views).
Took my brother on this walk as an introduction to the Yorkshire dales — we loved it so much! Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are always busy but the walk takes you to quiet bits
A nice but very busy (in parts) route. We parked at the Yorkshire Dales Vistor Centre in Grassington which was £5.50 for the day. Super busy for the first part down to and along the river. When we went up and away from the river, we didn’t see that many other walkers at all. Lots of ewes and lambs grazing so dogs had to be on leads for a portion whilst walking through those fields but there were lots of opportunities for them to be off lead too. Some potentially difficult stiles to navigate with dogs - if you have a large/non athletic type dog they might struggle to get over these. We finished up in Grassington, grabbing a milkshake and some dog ice creams as the sun was out!
Parked in Grassington Yorkshire dales visitor centre £5.50 for the day. The trail starts through the village and heads out across the fields to Hebden. Lots of stiles to climb but ground was dry under foot. There was a lovely tea shop in Hebden. Then it’s back by the river to Grassington ,where you get to see Linton falls.
