Hiking Tours in Yorkshire

Here’s how to decide which of our Yorkshire Dales tours suits you best:

The Dales Way: Yorkshire Dales to The Lake District - ideal for those seeking a moderately challenging route through classic Yorkshire scenery. This 8-day inn-to-inn 79-mile trail crosses two national parks and ends at the stunning Lake Windermere.

Yorkshire’s Herriot Way - Follow the adventures of England’s favorite veterinarian James Herriot of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ through the valleys and farms of the picturesque northern Yorkshire Dales on this moderate 50-mile loop trail.  

Yorkshire Dales In Comfort - For those who prefer a slower-paced vacation with a touch of extra comfort, this tour combines exceptional hiking with upgraded accommodation. Stay in characterful hotels and B&Bs and enjoy the best hikes of the Southern Yorkshire Dales with enough free time to experience the region’s quintessential culture.

Discover England: Yorkshire Dales to The Lake District: Our newest Yorkshire trip, this leisurely active trip combines the best of two regions with hikes in two National Parks and a ride on England’s most scenic train.

The Cleveland Way - Perfect if you want to ‘bag’ a National Trail with a mix of dramatic coastlines and moorland landscapes. This 11-day trip is great for folks new to inn-to-inn hiking.

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a haven for hikers of all levels, offering a variety of trails to suit every adventurer. Whether you’re looking for a challenging hike or seeking gentler ones through quaint villages, the Yorkshire Dales deliver stunning views at every turn.

Enjoy the peace of the countryside, punctuated by the sound of waterfalls like Aysgarth Falls or the rush of rivers cutting through dramatic valleys. Take in panoramic views from limestone escarpments or stroll through meadows scattered with seasonal wildflowers.

In the North York Moors National Park, you’ll find some of the best walks in Yorkshire, with heather-covered hills and ancient woodland. The park’s hilly terrain provides rewarding hikes, blending natural beauty with a deep sense of history.

For those drawn to dramatic seascapes, the Cleveland Way combines the rugged coastline with inland moorland trails. Hike along towering cliffs, where seabirds like gannets and guillemots swoop and dive, or discover hidden bays and fishing villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay.
