Ever since the first edition of this book appeared in 1984 it has been a popular guide for walkers in the Yorkshire Dales. Its coverage is extremely comprehensive, with walks in Wharfedale, Airedale, Ribblesdale, Swaledale, Wensleydale, Dentdale, Garsdale and Mallerstang, the Howgills, Ingleton and Clapham. The walker's environment is enhanced by preliminary chapters giving an insight into the geology, natural history, industrial archaeology and man's influence on the scenery of the Dales, and additional information accompanies each walk. There are two new chapters describing the latest developments on The Three Peaks Project and the Settle-Carlisle Railway. Changes have taken place since the first edition, and these are incorporated along with much new material, making the guide better than ever.
