Visit the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales

Places to Visit in the Dales

Use The Burgoyne as your base to visit the Yorkshire Dales; spread your wings and explore some of the most iconic scenery in England. Whether it is the snow peaked valleys of the Dales during the winter months or the glorious colours of spring and summer on the north Yorkshire moors, the beauty of the surrounding areas will transport you wherever you want to go.

The stone walls, sheep grazed pastures, small hamlets, villages, shooting lodges, farmsteads and stone cottages are steeped in history. They have been farmed by generations of families, managed by gamekeepers, shaped by communities of the past and looked after by those who live and work here today.

Arkengarthdale

Arkengarthdale meets Swaledale on the doorstep of Reeth. This dramatic dale only a few short miles in length is a tributary valley of Swaledale scattered with remote farmsteads and hamlets perfect to get lost in. The road winds its way westwards up the dale and onto the Pennines and passes the door of the highest pub in England, Tan Hill. It is a breath-taking backdrop for a drink.
