The walk follows the River Ure, from its source on the high fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park above Kirkby Stephen, to the village of Boroughbridge 73 miles later.

The Yoredale Way runs through beautiful Wensleydale, one of the most famous of all the Yorkshire Dales. It follows quiet riverside paths, visits historic parkland and wanders through lush meadows beside the River Ure.
