The Yorkshire Dales isn’t just a place to see it’s also a place to do! Hill walkers, mountain bikers, cyclists, horse riders and fell runners can all take advantage of specially designed trails through our striking and varied scenery.
 Cycling and mountain biking are popular ways to discover the Yorkshire Dales. Cyclists can explore the winding country lanes whereas mountain bikers can journey into the heart of the countryside on one of the many trails, footpaths and bridleways. Why not enjoy the views of the glorious Dales by taking part in self-guided day bike rides or even two to three day tours courtesy of Off the Rails.
 For the keen cyclist or walker there are short and long distance routes specially linked to accommodation. If you prefer the view from the back of a horse, there are plenty of trekking and riding trails.
The Yorkshire Dales’ lakes and waterways guarantee a challenge for the fishing fan. You can your hand at fly-fishing on some of the finest fishing rivers in the UK.
For the braver souls, there is mystery and adventure in deep, dark caves and seldom explored potholes, or the sense of achievement after scaling a towering craggy cliff face.
If you want to take your thrill seeking a little further, qualified and experienced local instructors are available to guide you through a range of activities. Climbing, caving, walking, canoeing or a combination of activities can be undertaken, enabling you to experience the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales from an entirely different perspective.
 But if you are not feeling quite so energetic, take a gentle stroll on one of many walks from our market towns, villages or wetland areas. Watch and discover the wildlife of the Yorkshire Dales, participate in bowling, golf, go for a swim or just watch the world go by.
Ordnance Survey maps and guide books are available for many routes. The following publications can however be purchased direct from Richmond Information Centre on Tel: 01748 850252.
