Introducing Grassington
The perfect base for south Dales jaunts, Grassington’s handsome Georgian centre teems with walkers and visitors throughout the summer months, soaking up an atmosphere that – despite the odd touch of faux rustication – is as attractive and traditional as you’ll find in these parts. It is 6 miles north of Skipton.

The tourist office (752774; 9.30am-5pm Apr-Oct, shorter hours Nov-Mar) is at the big car park on the edge of town. There’s a good stock of maps and guides, and a nice little display that puts the surrounding scenery in context.

None of them will allow you to explore the Dales. I'd be going further in - somewhere like Hawes, Grassington or Malham
