Craven, England Hiking Across the Yorkshire Dales

What to expect

Hiking in Craven, England means limestone scars, green valleys, and big-sky walking through the Yorkshire Dales. From the cobbled edges of Settle to the dramatic sweep of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, this is a landscape shaped for long days on foot. The Dales Traverse links Craven's high country with classic villages, dry-stone walls, and open fell views that feel unmistakably northern and deeply rooted in place.
