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.

Malham, Gordale Scar & Janet’s Foss. A historic, yet magical landscape that is truly fascinating. Somewhere not to be missed if you’re ever visiting the Yorkshire Dales. Every time I visit it blows my mind, to think this is naturally made and has been here for 1000 of years. It’s no wonder people from around the world come here.

Situated in the Yorkshire Dales lies the quaint Town of Austwick. A town where visitors can explore stunning geological sites such as the Norber Erratics, a collection of carboniferous limestone and sandstone boulders that were moved by the ice age glaciers created by weather erosion.
