30 Beautiful Mountains in the Yorkshire and Cumbrian Dales

Many people know about the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, however there are so many more beautiful mountains in the Dales to enjoy. The Dales 30 offer a completely different sort of challenge. A more leisurely challenge, one that can be completed at one’s own pace, with it brings a full appreciation of the Dales. Similar to the Wainwrights in the Lake District, come and try the Dales 30.

The Challenge

The ‘Dales 30’ are the mountains in the Yorkshire Dales National Park over 2,000 feet with a 30 metre drop on all sides (100 foot when all said and done). Want to try and climb them all?

Featured Walk: Whernside from Dent

The route up Whernside from Dent, the highest mountain in Yorkshire, is in my opinion more enjoyable than that from Ribblehead. Dentdale is lovely and the route brings out more of the mountain’s character.
