The rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales have provided much literary inspiration over the centuries. And whether or not you love the novels of the Bronte sisters and The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit or simply enjoy the fresh air and fine views, there’s plenty to savour in this scenic pocket of England.
Explore the Yorkshire Dales on foot and by rail on Prima’s walking holiday over five glorious days. Together with a group of like-minded readers, you’ll walk for around three or four hours a day to explore the villages, bridleways and homes of the Bronte sisters from a base in Skipton, the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
You’ll also board three splendid trains, including a ride on a classic steam train.
