Whether you are familiar with James Herriot or not, you cannot but be captivated by these beautiful Dales, steeped in history and tradition and still unspoiled in spite of the world-wide fame they have now achieved. In four days you will visit the small town of Hawes, home of Wensleydale cheese, and typical Dales villages such as Reeth and Askrigg ('Darrowby' in the Herriot series). Natural attractions include Aysgarth Falls and Hardraw Force, the highest single drop waterfall in England, and the magnificent views from spots such as Great Shunner Fell. The people of the Dales will offer you a traditional welcome and warm hospitality.
