Guided walks in the National Park

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority organises a range of guided walks as part of its annual events programme. Many of them have either a nature conservation or cultural heritage theme. Guided walks are a great way to learn about the area and let someone else worry about the navigation. Many of them are free of charge and most are accessible by public transport.
