A week in Yorkshire for walking...which town?

Post date: 2024-04-26 12:47:15

Hello, Yorkshire people! Can anyone recommend a small market town for me (68F New Englander) as a base for walking the heathery moors in late July?

I'll be a few days in Leeds then want 7-10 days of proper walking on marked, mid level difficulty] trails - on my Tod but would love to connect with a local Ramblers group or any other walkers.

Currently looking at small Air B&B options in Ilkley, Ripon, Thirsk, Skipton, Settle but will have no car so it's Dales Bus and trains. I know the Dales will be busy in July but them's my dates.

I like pubs with guest beers, outdoor markets, churches and cathedrals, a cream tea, dogs, jokes, pork pies, neolithic burial barrows and raspberry trifle - GO
