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.

Keighley Moor
The trail took us deeper into the wild moorland, submerging ourselves deeper towards the valley of Cowling below, as etchings of trail lines lay in front.
Distance: 9 miles / 14 km
Location: Oxenhope
Oxenhope Nab & High Brown Knoll
Oxenhope Nab is a short but rewarding walk, with stunning views overlooking the village of Oxenhope in West Yorkshire. As the Nab is fairly close to my home, I was keen to explore further into the bleak wind-swept moorlands that lay behind it.
