70 Essentials in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

On 16 November 2024 we mark 70 years since the Yorkshire Dales was designated a National Park.

To celebrate this anniversary we’ve prepared, with the support of local partners, ’70 Essentials’ that we think any resident or visitor should experience in the National Park. These include iconic locations and walks, activities, ways to connect with nature, and stories to be heard.

Take a look at the sections below to read more! You can also download the PDF version of our 70 Essentials in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

With thanks to a number of partners for their invaluable assistance in compiling these experiences, including Friends of the Lake District, Wild Ingleborough, Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, the National Trust and Settle Stories.
