About the Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales National Park lies between the Lake District in the west and the North York Moors in the east; it was designated as a National Park in 1954.

Covering an area of approximately 1,769 km, the Yorkshire Dales National Park boasts some of the finest scenery in the North of England. The name 'Dales' comes from the Scandinavian 'Thal' and refers to valleys in the area made boggy by rivers flowing down from the Pennine Hills.

The distinctive natural features of the Yorkshire Dales were shaped by the melting of glacier ice, eroding the limestone and sandstone rocks some 300 million years ago. This created crags, hills, caves and expanses of fissured rock pavements, valleys and waterfalls. Lead mining began in Roman times and continued into the 19th century. Quarrying for the high quality limestone, the clearing of woodland and building of villages, farmsteads and low stone walls so distinctive of the area, are the man made features of the Dales.
