The Yorkshire Dales lie mostly in the county of West Yorkshire, fairly near the city of Leeds. The Dales boast beautiful countryside and although near to large population centres you can still find tranquility if you avoid the tourist hotspots. Great walks to suit all abilities, lovely villages with tearoooms, shops, accomodations etc.

This landmark stands by the A1 road at Gateshead in Tyne & Wear. You would drive right past it if you are heading towards Newcastle from the south.
