カービーアンダーデールの峡谷・トップ6

A very short and twisty little dale that becomes Oxlands Dale and then Cow Dale as you approach the village of Huggate from the east.

The Chalkland Way / Minster Way winds above and and to the south of this spectacular dale, affording great views of its characteristic gorse bushes. A must see and on a par with the equally spectacular Horse Dale, although not quite as deep and long.

The small Jeffry Bog Nature Reserve is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. You can find here wildflowers, including orchids, bogbean and betony. I's quite tranquil here in Kirkham Gorge. And, in addition, if you are patient, you can do some amazing trainspotting: on the opposite bank of River Derwent, the Malton to York train line runs; wait long enough and a train will appear in this amazing setting!

Fairy Dale is a great example of a dry valley in the Yorkshire Wolds. It really is beautiful. There is a quarry here as well as a disused railway running along the bottom of the dale and the entrance to the old rail tunnel.

Water Dale is a beautiful place to ride in either direction. Downhill towards Thixendale or up towards Leavening. The road winds along right at the base of the deep sided vale so you really get a feel of the Yorkshire Wolds at its best. Highland Cattle are often grazed here which make a lovely additional sight.

Probably my favourite section of the whole trail. Stunning views on this Wold!

Ensure you take a camera, some amazing views

Sylvan Dale is my favourite place in the Yorkshire Wolds — it’s amazingly winding and undulating. It seems to be getting better every time I visit.
