Yorkshire & The Dales


God’s Own County


The Yorkshire Dales National Park and Yorkshire itself is a beautiful place, hence the name ‘God’s own country. The history and landscape allures people from all around the world and has a bit of everything for everyone. I have always lived on the edge of the Dales, and visited regularly ever since I was a young lad. However, I never truly appreciated the area until in my late 20’s where I began to cycle and hike/walk more regularly. I found my hunger and curiosity grew the more I visited, immersing myself in the landscape.

Below you will find the hikes/walks that have ratings of difficulty and contain mainly my own stories, routes, GPX files and, photographs. Some longer than others. I hope others can enjoy their own Yorkshire adventure like me.

Cosh Knott & Horse Head

Situated in the valley of Langstrothdale, lies Yockenthwaite. It is one of the smallest hamlets in the Yorkshire Dales and probably one of the quietest, too. The view down the valley is breathtakingly beautiful where the River Wharfe runs for 15 miles through the villages of Yockenthwaite, Deepdale, Beckermonds, and Oughtershaw.

Distance: 14 Miles / 22.5km

Location: Yockenthwaite
