Bracken Way Walking Holiday

95 miles. Book your Bracken Way Walking Holiday with us

“A week long multi day walk passing through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales”

The Bracken Way Walking Holiday includes visits to Malham Cove, Aysgarth and Hardraw Falls, Askrigg (where James Herriott was filmed), Dent, Ingleton Falls and many more special places. This is an increasingly popular long distance walk which passes through 6 major Dales and includes the option of visiting a 7th.

The itinerary below is the most popular but has some long days so some people may choose to split some days. We can advise where this is possible.

For more details on the route (and my personal account of the walk) refer to our Bracken Way page
