Walk Information

Each day brings new experiences, from the darkly mysterious Rombalds Moor with its many examples of Stone Age rock carvings, to the dramatic limestone scars of Malhamdale. The route meanders along the banks of the River Ribble, where in autumn salmon can be seen leaping up the waterfalls of Stainforth Force. It climbs mighty Ingleborough, and in a breathtaking six-mile ridge walk crosses the velvety folds of the Howgill Fells.

This is a challenging walk but although you will spend your days in the splendid isolation of the hills, each evening the route takes you into market towns and villages where you can enjoy our Yorkshire hospitality.

The route divides naturally into six sections: Rombalds Moor, Malhamdale, Ingleborough, Dentdale, Howgill Fells and the Eden Valley. Seasoned walkers might tackle one section each day but most people will find the first two sections too long. It is better to break them and take your time to explore along the way.

A convenient way to undertake the walk is in eight days. The short first day gives you time to get to the start at Saltaire. We recommend you take "A Dales High Way" route guide by Tony and Chris Grogan, published by Skyware Ltd and available via A Dales High Way website www.daleshighway.org.uk or from bookshops.
