The Yorkshire Dales are yet another jewel in Britain's landscape crown. Holding National Park status since 1954, It's breathtaking scenery, it's quaint, northern villages with it's vibrant people and culture.
The Pennines form a lot of the Yorkshire Dales, it's a mountainous, hilly region that separates north west England from north east England and are widely considered to be one of the most scenic areas of the United Kingdom.
The dales are all splendid in their view and my personal favourite is Wensleydale, made famous for its cheese, it's nearest market town is Hawes, where the cheese is still produced at the creamery.
Though not in the Yorkshire Dales, the town of Holmfirth is synonymous with the scenery of Yorkshire, being featured heavily in the longest running sitcom in the world, 'The Last of the Summer Wine', which ran from 1973 to 2010 for a whopping 31 series.

Holmfirth and its surrounding areas are some of the most beautiful in Yorkshire and tourists flock there not just for the TV sitcom but to experience the sheer beauty of the west Yorkshire area.
The Yorkshire Dales themselves are perfect for walking in the clear, fresh air. You can get up to all sorts of adventures in the picturesque setting and then stop in a pub for some food and drink to end your day of activities.
