The Dales Way is one of our most popular and cherished long distance footpaths.
For over 50 years walkers have followed the 80 miles of riverside track from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere, passing through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the gentle foothills of Southern Lakeland to the shore of England's grandest lake.
This is the original guide to the Dales Way, fully revised and updated, now in its twelfth edition (3rd Skyware edition). It provides a detailed description of the route, together with insightful accounts of the places and features of interest along the way. It includes the three major link routes from Leeds, Harrogate and Bradford and a history of the Peoples' Path.
Complete with large-scale, full colour strip maps of the entire route, Colin Speakman's Dales Way is the definitive guide to one of Britain's best loved and enduring long distance trails.

Scenes from the Dales Way
"Cleverly, the route is described both in
the text and in map annotations, reducing the chances of walkers wandering
off the path. And there are pen portraits of towns and villages and small
articles on historical features encountered along the way." -
Roger
Ratcliffe, Yorkshire Post.
"This beautifully-written publication has a
new look. Illustrated with more than 40 colour photographs to match
Speakman's compelling, affectionate narrative, it features, for the first
time, detailed colour strip maps of the entire route." -
Emma Clayton, Bradford
T&A.
"As a guide it is excellent. There is a
clear and detailed description of the entire route, and the accompanying
full colour strip maps could not be bettered." -
Keith Wadd,
West Riding Rambler
"Decades after he
first trod the Way, Ilkley man Colin Speakman has paid a fresh visit to
the walking route he immortalised in print, with the tenth edition of his
guide book to the Dales Way."
- Amanda
Greaves, Ilkley Gazette
"Whether you run it in a (long) day or take
a gentle ten days there are many ways to enjoy this walk and this guide
with lovingly written details, good overview maps, detailed coloured strip
maps and fine photographs is a model of its kind."
- Justin Gutmann,
Strider
