Sustainable Tourism - Help Conserve the Dales

Dales Bus

Why not give your car a well earned rest and see the Dales without the hassle of driving and parking the car!

Although the Dales include many miles of remote, beautiful countryside, public transport (and/or a local mini bus tour from Leyburn see attractions) make access easy and convenient.

Public transport users can participate in the Dales Bus discount scheme offered by many cafes, pubs, B&Bs and attractions throughout the Dales. Whether it’s a free cup of tea with your afternoon snack, or money off your overnight stay, travelling by bus has never been more worthwhile!

Look out for the Dales Bus discount window stickers, or check www.traveldales.org.uk for a full list of businesses participating in the scheme and public transport information.

Donate to the Dales

The Dales is a living breathing working landscape, but its fragile habitats and wildlife can only survive with careful management now! If you care about conserving the Dales’ natural beauty as much as we do, help us by participating in the Donate to the Dales programme.

Accommodation providers and attractions displaying the logo will gladly accept your donation and pass it on to the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust who will put these monies towards vital conservation work. Projects include:

• Repairing footpaths, stiles and river crossings
• Planting native broadleaved trees and restoring ancient woodlands
• Creating wildlife habitats and protecting rare plant species
• Repairing dry stone walls and field barns - a characteristic feature of the Dales

If every visitor contributes just £1.00 this will amount to a huge fund for conservation projects and make a real difference to ensure that the Dales remains a special place for everyone to enjoy.

Alternatively, you can send a larger donation direct to the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust. The Trust needs to raise over £300,000 each year in order to continue its vital conservation work. Donations from individuals like you are used to match other grant monies enabling an incredible £3/4million worth of conservation work to be undertaken each year.
