Wharfedale and Malham - Southern Yorkshire Dales Guidebook

by: Paul Hannon
The Southern Yorkshire Dales includes the major valley of Wharfedale, its tributary Littondale, as well as the headwaters of the River Aire in Malhamdale, all set within the National Park.

This guidebook describes 25 great walks, well-illustrated and concisely described, which lead you through stunning landscapes of rolling moorland, wooded riverbanks and spectacular limestone scars and pavements. Explore limestone uplands above Malham and Arncliffe, the dramatic scenery of Simon's Seat, Rylstone crags and Hebden Gill; and climb iconic peaks Buckden Pike and Great Whernside.

Discover the immense grandeur of Malham Cove, Trollers Gill, Conistone Dib and Gordale Scar, as well as the many charms of Malham Tarn, Langstrothdale, Bolton Abbey and Strid Wood. Amble around the absorbing little town of Grassington, along with a wealth of colourful stone built villages such as Burnsall, Kettlewell, Kirkby Malham, Linton and Appletreewick.

Each walk entry begins with start location, distance, OS Explorer map reference and access information. Background information is printed in coloured italic to easily distinguish it from route navigation instructions. Simple outline sketch maps are included and the guide is illustrated with colour photographs.
