Our favourite Yorkshire Dales pubs and great walks you can do from them!

A traditional village pub is always a welcome sight at the end (or in the middle!) of a good walk and we are lucky in the Dales that almost every village has managed to retain at least one thriving pub, ready to welcome locals and visitors alike. Here we have listed some of our favourite pubs in the area, along with suggestions of walks that you can do from them, but there are many more so if you would like any other recommendations, please do ask. Many of these pubs can be visited on a Muddy Boots walking holiday and several of them even provide our overnight accommodation!

Yorkshire Dales villages - Keld, Swaledale
Yorkshire Dales villages - Keld, Swaledale

Tucked away in the far reaches of upper Swaledale, Keld is one of the most remote villages in the Dales (and one of few settlements in the country that still has no mobile phone signal!). It is an exquisite little place, the main part of the village hidden from the main road and accessible only down a steep, narrow, dead-end lane. For somewhere so tiny (there are about 30 buildings and less than 100 residents), it has a surprising number of places of interest in and around the village, and you can easily spend a day exploring the village itself and its immediate vicinity.

Waterfalls of the Yorkshire Dales

Here are some of our favourite walks in the Yorkshire Dales that take in at least one or two beautiful waterfalls, which often make a great spot for your picnic, a paddle, or even a full swim if the weather is good and you’re feeling brave! Many of these waterfalls can also be visited on one of the Muddy Boots walking routes.
