Cycling around the Yorkshire Dales

Cyclists will find much to enjoy on a weeklong holiday into the golden Yorkshire Dales. An area of romantic landscapes and nostalgic towns and villages; dry stonewalls and animals grazing in generously green fields. It is the quintessential heart, perhaps the very essence of England. To a Yorkshire man it is God's own country, with everything in its right place. A constant in a World of change! We should not perhaps get too blaze' with the superlatives, but nevertheless with some luck with the weather, you will roll along the country lanes with a glorious rural tapestry unveiling around you. On this tour you can enjoy several famous dales including Swaledale, Ribblesdale, Malhamdale, Wharfedale and Littondale. There are sites of great interest for naturalists and historians: Malham Cove and the region's famous 'Karst' limestone scenery, Bolton Abbey and the old cobbled market towns certainly spring to mind. Then there are the opportunities for picnicking by the lively rivers perhaps watching Dippers swim after little fish. This is a circular tour, based upon a back bone of pleasant accommodations, some of which are Inns with long standing pedigrees, adding to the flavour of the region.
