Visit Settle - Adventures

Walking

The Settle Area has a vast network of public footpaths and bridleways that enable you to get 'up-close and personal' with some of the most spectacular countryside and landscapes in the world.

Whether it's a gentle ramble along the banks of a Dales river, a challenging hike that visits the summits of some of the highest peaks in Yorkshire or something in-between, we can guarantee that you'll find a walk to perfectly match your requirements.

For those intrepid adventurers that like the challenge of a long-distant walk then these are the ones that pass through the Settle Area: Ribble Way, Pennine Way, A Pennine Journey, Pennine Bridleway, Dales High Way, Howgills and Limestone Trail.

For those who lack the confidence and experience to tackle a walk on their own, there are plenty of opportunities to join a guided walk or hire an experienced and knowledgeable Guide - see EXPERIENCES >>
