As part of our Green Traveller's Guide to the Yorkshire Dales, Paul Bloomfield picks out a selection of hotels, B&Bs, self-catering and campsites in this famous national park in the north of England.
From vast rolling moors to dramatic valleys and quaint villages, the landscape of the National Park changes at every turn – and there’s a huge and varied choice of green accommodation to match. Where you stay is an important part of any visit, so we’ve come up with a wide range of places to suit all needs.
Maybe you want to stay on a working farm with fantastic conservation projects out in Wharfedale, or perhaps five-star luxury on the Bolton Abbey estate is more your style? With everything from traditional inns to homely B&Bs run by people with a passion, you’re bound to find something you’ll love. Self-catering barns, cottages and campsites are included too for those who like that extra independence.
All of these places have been chosen because of the efforts they are making to reduce their impact on the environment, and by staying at one of these places, you, too, will be doing your bit.
