Itinerary description
|
The Yorkshire Dales (also known as The Dales) is the name given to a highland area in the North of England. Part of the territory is part of a national park in North Yorkshire, England (United Kingdom).
The area is within the boundaries of historic Yorkshire County, although it extends over the ceremonial counties of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Cumbria.
The Dales is a series of river valleys and the mountains between them, which rise from the West Valley to the west to the mountain peaks of the main slopes. in some places the Dales area extends even to the west across the slope, but most of the valleys drain eastward to the York Valley, on the Ouse River and then the Humber.
The word dale comes from the Nordic / Germanic word that means "valley", and is the one that is used in names of valleys in Yorkshire and, in general, in the north of England but since the creation of the national park, the name of Yorkshire Dales has come to refer specifically to these western valleys and the area of valleys and hills east of the York Valley now called North York Moors by the national park created there.
The Lake District, also known as The Lakes, or Lakeland, is a rural area in northwestern England. It constitutes a popular tourist destination, famous for its lakes and mountains (called fells), and for its association with the Lakist poets (lake poets), who adopted the place as a residence and source of inspiration in the early nineteenth century.
