About Six Dales Trail

This 38 mile route takes in the entire length of the Nidderdale AONB from Otley in Wharfedale to Middleham in Wensleydale and showcases some of the remarkably beautiful dales in our area.The route features great contrasts of high heather moorland, stone wall enclosed pastures and parkland of Jervaulx, before finishing at the imposing Middleham Castle.It crosses the five watersheds, which separate the six dales and gives the trail its name from Wharfedale to Washburndale, then into Nidderdale, Colsterdale, Coverdale and Wensleydale.The Six Dales Trail will take you through some of Yorkshire’s lesser-known but glorious countryside. This new but instant classic of a long distance trail has its own website with lots more details about the route.
