1. Venture into the Hardraw Force

   The astonishing Hardraw Force is home to the largest waterfall in England at over 100 feet. This fantastic rock formation is more than 340 million years old, formed from alternating layers of limestone, shale and sandstone combined with the product of glacial activity - a unique and captivating sight.

2. Visit the charming Dales Countryside Museum

   The Dales Countryside Museum tells the fascinating history of Yorkshire, its people and their work through exhibits including bronze objects and artefacts. In the old Victorian train station, you'll also find a locomotive and its wagons in perfect condition to explore.

3. Bag the Three Peaks

   Serious hikers come to the Yorkshire Dales for a spot of peak-bagging. If you can summit Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough - all above 2,000 feet - in 12 hours, you'll join the ranks of those who have succeeded at this challenge.

4. Walk the majestic Ribblehead Viaduct

   The incredible old Ribblehead is a railway viaduct passing through the valley of the River Ribble in North Yorkshire. Classified Grade II as an ancient monument, this stone structure extends 400 metres with 24 arches, making it a great work of engineering to admire while taking in views of the three peaks of the Dales.

5. Explore nature at Whernside

   Nestled high in the valleys of the Dales, Whernside is the tallest of the three peaks making up the Yorkshire Tri-Peaks Challenge, with views of Blackpool Tower from the top on clear days. You don't need to summit to enjoy it, though - try the signposted hiking or mountain biking routes, or gentler walks around the lakes and waterfalls.

6. Ride the Yorkshire countryside on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey steam train

   The Embsay & Bolton Abbey is considered one of the heritage railways in Europe, offering a fantastic ride in a vintage steam locomotive with restored Edwardian and Victorian carriages, including first-class carriages with food, desserts and tea, and beautiful views of the Yorkshire countryside.

7. Have fun in the fantastic White Scar Cave

   White Scar Cave is considered the longest cave in all of Britain. The guided tour lasts almost 2 hours and covers 1 mile, starting with a waterfall discovered in 1923, followed by incredible geological formations of limestone and sandstone millions of years old, such as the fingers of the witch and the head of the judge.
