| The most impressive of the Yorkshire
Dales, Wharfedale cuts through the eastern side
of the national park like a giant scar. Nearby
are Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, with their
interesting limestone features. The flanks of
Wharfedale are home to some of the most notorious
caves in Britain. The prominent Kilnsey Crag (right)
offers the best rock climbing in the Dales. For the less adventurous, there are numerous delightful villages to visit, centred on the small town of Grassington. |

South of Grassington,
Wharfedale ambles it's way down to Bolton Abbey
while to the north, Upper Wharfedale winds it's
way past Kilnsey, Kettlewell and Buckden, before
reaching it's head above Cray where it plunges
down into Bishopdale and Wensleydale.
