If you’re looking for UK walking holidays, particularly in the Yorkshire region, you need look no further than Swaledale. Holidays in Swaledale are all about the undulating scenery and the activities it presents. Swaledale is one of the Yorkshire Dales National Park’s most northern dales, also known as valleys, where the River Swale flows east of the Pennines mountain range. It’s exactly what you’d expect and hope for from the Yorkshire Dales – rolling hills, green fields, traditional stone walls, barns and cottages, ancient churches and ruins, wild flowers, sheep and moorlands. One of the UK’s fastest flowing rivers, the River Swale turns at times to small waterfalls on its journey to the Humber. It’s no surprise that Swaledale holidays are particularly popular with hikers and casual walkers alike.
