Pennine Way (Horton in Ribblesdale to Hawes)

National Trails

Tackles one of the Pennine Way's most dramatic sections across moorland and limestone country, climbing steeply from Horton through Pen-y-ghent (Yorkshire's iconic peak) before descending to Hawes through the Dales. Challenging terrain with sustained ascents, exposed ridges, and potentially boggy patches—unsuitable for buggies and young children. Dogs welcome but must be confident on steep, rocky paths. The spectacular upland scenery and sense of achievement make this a bucket-list day for serio

Follows the River Wharfe through classic Yorkshire Dales scenery with moderate climbs between two hamlets. Terrain mixes riverside paths, field tracks and some rocky sections—manageable for older children but not buggy-friendly due to stiles and uneven ground. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock.

Upper Wharfdale Ranger Run, Upper Wharfdale

National Trust

Covers 10.9km of classic Upper Wharfdale terrain with rolling hills and moderate climbs—expect some steep sections but nothing too technical. The length and inclines make it challenging for buggies and younger children, though older kids who enjoy a proper walk will love the varied landscape. Dogs welcome throughout this National Trust route. Worth doing for sweeping Dales views, limestone scenery, and that satisfying feeling of a decent leg-stretch through quintessential Yorkshire countryside.
