YORKSHIRE DALES TRIP (Grinton) / 2025, Jul 4 - 7

£210 / 3 Ngts / Shared Room
Link - TRIP PHOTOS

The Yorkshire Dales, home to outstanding scenery, ancient castles, enchanting abbeys and a breathtakingly peaceful atmosphere - the perfect location for a wild summer adventure.

For this long weekend escape we will be visiting one of the more remote northern dales – Swaledale, a captivating valley, a place where history whispers from ancient stone walls and natural beauty unfolds at every turn.

Swaledale is famous for its hardy breed of sheep and spectacular wildflower meadows which are a blaze of colour in June and early July – perfect timing for our visit. A deep and winding valley, this is an ideal spot for those who wish to forget the pressures of everyday life and wish to discover an adventure on the wild side.

Lodging in the heart of this serene valley, our digs for this journey come in the form of the splendid YHA Grinton Lodge – a charming Grade II listed building dating back to 1817, built high on the slopes high above the village of Grinton offering stunning panoramic views of the whole Swaledale valley.
