Many features of Yorkshire Dales change from day to day, over the seasons, time and hours, making the region an ideal destination for the walker. The unique limestone landscape encompasses vast expanses of solitary high swamps and respectable hills, but it is the complex network of valleys such as Wharfedale and Swaledale which gave its name to the region. The glacial period played a crucial role in the transformation of this landscape of high land peatlands into lush meadows at the edge of rivers, green valleys and green forests. The spectacular waterfalls are another typical feature and this guide of 20 short walks in Yorkshire Dales offers those of Aysgarth, Hardraw, Burton Force, Mill Gill and Catrigg Force.
