Long before it was designated as a National Park, visitors, artists and writers sought out the
Yorkshire Dales for its unspoilt, breathtaking and dramatic scenery.
Much of the landscape there is limestone, lush green valleys known locally as dales, crested with
white limestone scars and pavements, cutting through wilder uplands beneath towering fells of dark
millstone grit.
Throughout the dales, fields and pastures are bounded by distinctive drystone walls which
criss-cross the hillsides in elaborate patterns, they are superb for landscape photography and
represent in a lovely way the area’s beauty.
Sheep on the fells, hay meadows in the valley bottoms: this has long been the way of life for Dales
farmers, resulting in a landscape cherished by residents and visitors alike.
The word dale comes from a Nordic/Germanic word for valley, and occurs in valley names
across Yorkshire (and northern England generally) but since the creation of the Yorkshire Dales
National park, the name Yorkshire Dales has come to refer specifically to these western dales and
the area of dales and hills east of the Vale of York is now called the North York Moors after the
National Park created there.
Twisleton scars, Ingleborough, Thornton force, Ribblehead viaduct, Bolton Abbey, Brimham rocks,
Fountains Abbey. These are some of the locations that make Yorkshire dales so exciting and a
photographer’s paradise.
Once you have set foot in a Yorkshire Dale, you will be touched with a magic that will stay with you all your life.
