Dales High Way by Mickledore Travel
The Dales High Way is a hillwalkers paradise. Stretching 94 miles from the UNESCO World Heritage village of Saltaire in West Yorkshire to Appleby in Cumbria, the High Way, as the name suggests, follows the spectacular high ground over the West Yorkshire Moors, the Dales limestone country, and the Howgill Fells.
The High Way itself could be described as having three quite differing landscapes. The first of these being the peaty, heather-clad moors that continue to fringes of Malhamdale.
On reaching Malhamdale you enter classic Dales limestone country. Few places demand an additional day as much as Malham does. A day exploring Janet’s Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham Tarn is a perfect

On reaching Malhamdale you enter classic Dales limestone country. Few places demand an additional day as much as Malham does. A day exploring Janet’s Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham Tarn is a perfect additional day to your holiday. The Dales also offers up some of the most challenging terrain on the High Way, including the crossing of the mighty Ingleborough and the oportunity of climbing Yorkshire’s highest peak, Whernside.
The final phase of the walk involves a traverse of the entire Howgill range in a truly special six mile ridge walk. The imposing Howgills are a series of steep sided, round topped, grassy hills that fold smoothly into one another. The reward for your efforts are far reaching views taking in the likes of the Mallerstang-Garsdale Fells, the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the Lakeland Fells and the North Pennines. Once off the tops all that remains is a congratulatory walk through the beautiful Cumbrian countryside, and with the hard work behind you, a chance to reflect on all that you’ve achieved and enjoyed on the incredible Dales High Way.
