Dales Trail
Gravel and MTB trail exploring the Yorkshire Dales
5th October, 2024
The Dales Trail is a one day event taking you across bridleways and lanes on the moors and valley slopes that sit between the River Ribble and River Wharfe in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales.
In practical terms that means you start in the town square in Settle, North Yorkshire and head due north to the spectacular Malham Tarn and then east to Grassington before looping back on tracks on limestone and peat back to Settle.
“I have fled my country and gone to the heather.”
Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights (1847)
“And the moors were always there and never without their promise.”
J.B.Priestley
Bright Days (1944)
“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”
Nan Shepherd
The Living Mountain (1977)
