Interactive Peak Bagging Maps and Tick Lists for the Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is located in northern England, mostly in the county of North Yorkshire but with small areas in Cumbria and Lancashire. It was designated in 1954, and covers an area 2,178 km² (841 sq mi).

To make peak bagging a bit easier to manage, the Yorkshire Dales is divided into three distinct areas:

• the Howgill Fells (a.k.a the Howgills)
• the Northern Dales area and
• the Southern Dales area

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is home to England's highest above-ground unbroken waterfall - Hardraw Force and the largest underground chamber naturally open to the surface - Gaping Gill.

In the southern part of the park is Malham Cove, an 80m (262ft) high x 300m (984ft) wide limestone cliff. Close by is Gordale Scar, a dramatic 100m (328ft) limestone ravine with overhanging cliffs.

The Settle and Carlisle Railway is in the northern area. Built in the 1870s it crosses the more remote and scenic areas of the Yorkshire Dales including the famous Ribblehead Viaduct.

Nearby are the three peaks that form the infamous Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge Walk. While Wernside and Ingleborough are the two highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the third member of the trio, Pen-y-ghent, is only the ninth highest. For more details, including the very latest route information, see Walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge Walk.

Great places to go walking from include: Aysgarth Falls, Clapham, Grassington, Hawes, Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Ingleton, Keld, Kirkby Stephen, Malham, Reeth, Sedbergh, and Settle.

There are 126 classified Mountains, Fells, Peak, Tops and Hills that lie within the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park National Park. All are within the capabilities of an averagely fit walker, hiker or rambler.
