The Yorkshire Dales offer a unique kind of wild beauty, quieter than the Lake District and more expansive than the Peak District. This is a landscape of contrast and character. From the iconic peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent to the wild openness of the moors and the deep green dales below. It’s a place where every run feels like a journey between stone walls and field barns, over high ground, across limestone pavements and rivers with expansive wild views that shift and open at every turn and where the hand of man is ever present.

Just to the North West are the Howgill Fells described by Alfred Wainwright as resembling a herd of sleeping elephants. Found within both Cumbria and Yorkshire these hills are smooth, quieter and exposed. These beautiful broad sweeping hills are often overlooked but their long ridge lines, steep grassy climbs and valleys make for some of the most rewarding and runnable terrain in the Dales. With fewer paths and fewer people they offer real solitude and space to move.

Whether you’re aiming to tackle the classic Three Peaks, explore hidden gems in Swaledale or trace wild lines across the Howgills this region has routes to suit every runner, from technical fell challenges to flowing trail days. There’s room here to push yourself, to train smart or just to enjoy the stillness between the climbs.

We know these hills. We’ll guide you off the beaten track and help sharpen your skills and take you to the spots you’d never find on your own. Come and run the Yorkshire Dales or the Howgills with us. We’re confident when we say that we can pretty much guarantee variety, challenge and a deep connection with some of the best running terrain in the country.
