If your in the Ingleton area, a walk around Ingleton falls coming back down Beezley falls is a very nice walk, they used to have a small open air swimming pool in Ingleton, not sure if its still open.

Kendal is a nice town to visit, then your not far from the Lakes.  :D

If you like a hill walk the flat top fell of Ingleborough is a good one, there are several routes the one I like is from Clapham village, takes you through some woodland, past Clapham cave which is open to the public, then on up a rocky scrabble onto the moorland ascending up Ingleborough the final part has steep rock steps, well worth the climb on a clear day, be careful on misty day or fog with it being flat top you can soon loose your bearings, compass and map recommended we got caught in mist last time. link to walk http://www.walkingenglishman.com/dales11.htm
If you have kids Docker Park Farm http://www.dockerparkfarm.co.uk/
Riverside walk from devils bridge Kirkbylonsdale, and if you feeling brave swim in the river its cold i know i've done it.

hope it helps if i think of any more will post.

Forbidden Corner is a definite in my book, the website for there is a bit crap but the place itself  is great for kids old and young. You need to book before you go. There is the Wensleydale Cheese factory at Hawes which is good (if you like cheese!) as you can try all the different varieties before you buy. The cafe/restaurant there is excellent.

Aysgarth falls is a good place to stop for a stroll about. Parking can get a bit tight if you get there too late. Where else? There is the Wensleydale Railway at Leyburn and whilst at Leyburn there is the Teapot Factory (free) and the Chocolate Factory (also free but expensive to buy choccies).

The Royal Greenjackets museum is up that way but I am not sure what the opening times are. The James Herriot Museum at Thirsk is worth a visit. There are a couple of good fords up there. If you have a TOMTOM then there is an OV2 file that you can download and install on your device which will tell you where the fords are :)

Eeyore:
Whenslydale Creamery at Hawes, Grommit.

If you've got time a day trip to Whitby is a good day out. Fish and chips at the Magpie cafe are compulsory.

Of course it's a War-Zone!!!, Kirkby Lonsdale is on the border with those heathens to the west*

The major bases have been covered for that particular part of the world,as 'KL' is a bit of an outpost.

'Devils Bridge' is a beautiful structure & well-worth a stroll around


Warning!!
Be very wary, if you're on the A65 (main trunk road that passes through 'KL', or decided to drive over to Hawes Creamery (especially after visiting Ingleton) along the B6255.
Both roads have a lot to 'trap' the unwary driver, & can be plagued with motorcyclists.
No offence to any bikers on here, but there are a few fools on both roads.


Ribblehead Viaduct, along the B6255 is another structure that definately demands attention (it's on the Settle-Carlisle line)


Heading back down the A65, towards Yorkshire
1. Settle. Is a lovely little market town, with some charming little places.
2. Skipton. Has the castle, the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, a great street market (can't remember the days) Embsay Steam Railway, Bolton Abbey (isn't too far away),
3. Keighley. Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (where the original 'Railway Children' film was shot), Haworth (Bronte Sisters, is just up the valley)
4. Bingley. 'Three-rise' & 'Five-rise locks' on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal - fantastic industrial heritage icons



*Yes, I know it's in Cumbria now, but it was in the North Riding of Yorkshire
