The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England

June 4, 2021 Kandra Bartel

One visit to the Yorkshire Dales and it’s easy to understand why the unspoiled countryside is the setting of so many novels. Must-see sights among the land’s lush woodlands and expansive moors include Hardraw Force (the longest single-drop waterfall in the North), Gordale Scar, and well-known hill range, the Three Peaks. Less adventurous visitors can rest easy, walking through the manicured lawns of Parcevall Hall Gardens or appreciating Skipton Castle’s medieval architecture. Although some prefer to take in the land’s wild beauty by foot or horse, the most popular way is via one of the park’s famed cycling routes.

I have been visiting this church and the stepping stones nearby since I was a baby. It is a beautiful place to visit. If I ever get married it would be my first choice. I love it here.

Settle Station Water Tower

Private house. The conversion was the subject of two one-hour episodes of TV's Restoration Man. This gets shown all over the world and we have been privileged to welcome people who have seen the programme in their home countries. During 2020 we are having building work done in the grounds which will therefore be a building site, not open to the public. However, if you have come half way round the world to see the place do please come and ring the doorbell on the off chance. Just now though COVID restrictions apply of course.

Hoffmann Kiln - Craven Lime Works

Reviewed By michaelgP219MB - Settle, United Kingdom

Found this industrial heritage on a walk between Stainforth and Lancliffe. Various information boards and trails. Also some audio exhibits of interviews with past workers. Paths can be slippy if wet. There is a car park but not easy to locate - you need to go under the railway off the main road. Highly recommended, giving an insight into the industrial heritage of the area. Walking inside the kiln chambers is impressive.
