Yorkshire Dales were so serene and… dare I say empty? Why does nobody come to this stunner of a national park!? Let me know if you’re one of the adventurers who have been!!
I used to live in Ilkley which is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and it was a beautiful town surrounded by hills and had great cycling trials. Bolton Abbey is really beautiful as well.
The UK is so stunning and beautiful with the landscapes, the architecture and some ancient history thrown in too. I hope the people of the UK realize how fortunate they are to live there. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼♀️🥰
First time watching your guidebooks. As a Yorkshire man living in God's own county, I can say you did a prety decent job of showing the beauty and character of the dales. And know that is high praise coming from one of the locals. Fun commentary and beautiful photography. One of the best travel vlogs on Yorkshire I have seen. I shall be watching more of your adventures. I hope you get the recognition you deserve. 😁😁👏👏
Wow, wow, wow! Your videography in this one was such a treat. Thank you for sharing :) We're also planning to visit Yorkshire shortly, so we'll be taking some of your tips.
Awww thank you so much! The weather was very on/off so I kept getting frustrated with the fact that most days the sun only hung around for the super bright midday, and rarely stuck around for a nice sunset 😐 so I'm glad it still ended up looking... somewhat solid 😅. Where around Yorkshire will you be travelling?
@@Kakibot Loved it all! We’re not sure just yet. Doing some initial research and starting to put together a rough itinerary, so we’ll see when inspiration strikes 😅 Needs to be dog and kid friendly!
A bit of advice from someone who knows the Dales extremely well; By all means visit the tourist spots such as Grassington, Richmond, Settle, and Hawes, but you need to get away from them to see the spectacular scenery, so don't be afraid to explore, but do be aware that petrol stations are few and far between and tend to be around the edges of the National Park area. It's also worth seeing towns like Northallerton, Thirsk, and Ripon, which are just outside the Dales but near enough to get to easily. Each of them is very attractive in their own right and all have a unique character. Above all, take your time and enjoy wherever you are because it's a large area and you can't see everything in one or even several trips - I've been visiting the Dales regularly for many years and there are still places I've yet to see.
I was surprised but delighted to see Studley Royal come up. I was born in Harrogate and lived in Ripon as a small child and most of my family still lives in that area. Studley was one of my favourite places to go as a little one. My parents and grandparents would take me there to feed the ducks and watch the deer. We'd also race sticks under the bridges and down the waterfalls and in the Autumn I'd collect conkers from the chestnut trees there. My grandparents used to buy me jelly babies from the national trust shop as a treat. Some of my earliest and fondest memories were made there.
How come this vid is not getting as much love as it should? The place is absolutely gorgeous and let's face it - your mad video skills are getting better and better. Love it, Kat! 🤍 You made me want to visit here. Aaaah missing the UK. 🥰✨ Malham Cove seems wonderful and so aesthetic!
I am so glad I saw this, I have been listening to JR Ellis's audiobooks and he sets his books on the Yodrkshire Dale's and now I can see them too. Thank you.
Just found your channel and absolutely love it already! I just returned from my first visit to the Yorkshire Dales and your beautifully filmed footage had me smiling the entire time. I felt like I was back in one of the most lovely spots on Earth. I am so happy that you shared this and will be checking out the other videos you have.
This video made me so happy! I want to visit that rather quirky museum, there is still a little kid inside this adult body. And the scenery was absolutely gorgeous as well 😊
I can imagine you’d have an absolute blast at the Forbidden Corner, it’s SO STRANGE. Always love finding hidden spots that are just straight up bizarre 😂
The Dales - magnificent and LOTS to see. I was pleased to see you visited The Forbidden Corner near Middleham (you have to buy tickets before going - online is fine) and it is unique. Kids (and the young at heart) will LOVE IT. Loads of towns/villages/hills/rivers/pubs. Kettlewell, Skipton (canal boats & castle) Hawes, Reeth, Aysgarth, Falls, West.Burton with its own Cauldron Force/Falls, Leyburn with Campbell's (one of the best grocer's/butcher's/wine+spirits emporium), Bolton (Wensleydale) with its castle at which Mary Queen of Scots was kept prisoner.etc etc. Richmond Castle is one of the best of all with a wonderful keep. Masham has brewery tours of its Theakstons and Black Sheep Breweries. Middleham has not only the nearby TFC but also Richard III's castle, "the Gallops" used by the trainers of the local thoroughbred race horses and one of the very best fish+chips shops. So much to see. Luckily not so packed out as the Lake District So glad you were able to come to "my area". But if you want to come to the North York Moors as well....steam trains, pubs, castles, abbeys and of course, the glory that is Whitby!
This makes me want to get over my fear of driving on the left side of the road so I'll be able to visit gems like these. What an absolutely beautiful place, so much history and such amazing Tolkienesque landscapes. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wenslydale also goes very nice with Christmas cake. Have been to Otley for the folk festival and also the Green Dragon pub in Hardraw which has a waterfall in the garden.
Really enjoyed this video. We go there a lot and we love the area around Muker and Aysgarth, we normally base ourselves in Carperby. Lovely part of the world, thanks for sharing your journey.
I was brought up and went to school in Richmond briefly seen at 02:55 - during the 1960s and 1970s before I headed off to the "Big City" of Darlington (🤣). Looking back, I now realise just how lucky I was. 🙂
I loved the Dales, it's such a beautiful part of the country and from this I'm looking even more forward to the other National Parks in the UK :) Where else should we visit?
In the 70's I saw the three peaks for the first time when my parents went on holiday to Leyburn and we traveled around and went to Horton-in-Ribblesdale, the next year that's where we stayed, I climbed Pen-y-ghent several times and ran up and back down once (1h:57minutes) I was quiet proud of that time. After that I went into north yorkshire by rail with my bike and a small tent, cycled and walked everywhere. In order of difficulty I would say that Inglebrough is the most demanding followed by Pen-y-ghent and lastly Whernside, I haven't claimed them since they have had decent paths made. A confession, Wesleydale cheese isn't a favourite of mine 😮 I eat it still, just not my first choice. I would love to go again with my beagle but she doesn't like being in a trailer behind the bike, a cottage seems like the only alternative but that restricts us to being close to the railway unfortunately :/ Love the videos, I'm pleased to have found your channel :)
Hi gorgeous! I'm going to be moving to Edinburgh in November and just wanted to ask you this: You mentioned in a previous video that you had studied in Napier Uni. I'm considering it for my masters and just wanted to know if you liked it, also, does it have good reputation? I was between Brighton and Napier Uni and it seems like Napier is becoming much better.
It's still seen as a very practical, no-nonsense university - you go there to learn how to do a job, and then you will likely get that job. I don't think prestige is a huge part of the mix, but it's definitely respectable!
The Dales National Park does not include all the Yorkshire dales. Indeed Pately Bridge and Nidderdale were deliberately excluded f rom the NP. The North York Moors National Park includes many dales, including Danby Dale where, as late as the 1880's, the locals didn't speak English. Canon Atkinson was installed in the Parish and records that only his steward could communicate directly with him - his parishioners spoke a dialect related to Danish (via Viking settlers over a thousand years ago)..
Right, now tell me! Would you agree with saying Yorkshire is like a sister to Highlands? Also pretty, but not as much as the Highlands of course - they're sisters, not twins ;)
5:17 Goes to the land that is synonymous with tea drinking and complains about the coffee. I know what you mean, though. I visited the Rhone Valley and couldn't find a decent local malt whisky. 8:39 visits English pubs and has a whinge about English pub cuisine. I know what you mean, though. I went to a Bavarian beer festival in October and there were just too many sausages. 11:14 Visits a creamery famous for its cow's milk cheese - it even has a cow on its signage - and moans that it's not sheep's cheese. I know what you mean, though. My local butcher has a surprising lack of vegan options. Can't watch anymore of this whining about an area not bending to meet this person's specific tastes. Stay at home love. You can have everything you want and exactly how you like it. I may come back for the beautiful footage and turn the commentary off.
Yes. Cold, wet October morning. Tune in for some beautiful Dales scenery and have to listen to someone moaning that roads are too scary for new drivers and other inconsequential, personal peeves that have nothing to do with the location.
My job is to relay the situation to other people. Some people are vegetarian, so I like to mention when there’s veggie meals. My regular watchers are interested in coffee culture, so I give them a warning. For someone who’s new here you’re being very rude, and unfortunately you do remind me of the one thing I indeed did not enjoy in the Dales. You love to throw around fun little metaphors, so here’s one for you: this comment is the equivalent of you coming to my house, complimenting 9 things and then saying that I probably could call someone over to give the windows a little clean, and me getting so offended that I tell you that you can come over again but only if you don’t open your mouth once. Again, incredibly rude.
A bit of a pedant, aren't you? Kat makes content that caters to a range of interests, provides balanced reporting, and does it for free despite the expense of travelling to new places. Her comments are her opinion, which she's free to express on her own channel. You're welcome to share your thoughts, it only helps with the algorithm afterall, but I wonder what your life must be like, to take umbrage over such tiny differences of opinion than your own? Don't tell people to "stay at home love", that's the sort of rude behaviour that immediately makes people think you're a small-minded chauvinist.
@@Kakibot Don't worry. I won't be back for more whingeing and nit-picking. Maybe talk about veggie food and coffee in a more positive way rather than slagging places off and you won't piss people off so much. THAT is rude.
@@tonycasey3183The only one being rude, winging and nit-picking here, is YOU, Tony. Your original comment made absolutely no sense in the context of Kak’s video, proving that while “observing” it, you had no listening comprehension towards it. None of her commentary was complaining about anything, she was simply informative. You’re new. You don’t understand her vlog style, nor her audience, so it was brazen of you to make assumptions off of clearly lazily observing a single video. It’s as though you came in here with the clear intent of being a pedantic troll. 😒

Britain is so lovely, and you do an excellent job capturing it 🖤
Aw that’s so sweet of you to say!!
Girrrl I adore the Yorkshire Dales, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us 💖
I am lucky enough to live in Yorkshire and have been to the Dales love Yorkshire and all it has to offer.
I am so glad I saw this, I have been listening to JR Ellis's audiobooks and he sets his books on the Yodrkshire Dale's and now I can see them too. Thank you.
I love that park. So many pretty hikes!! Thanks for bringing back all the good memories of being there

Looks so beautiful there in Yorkshire Dales & I was impressed how amazing it is here in England! Thanks for sharing Kakibot & I love your videos. ❤💚
Aww thank you for watching and for the kind words!
I'm lucky to have all those within 30-90 minutes drive. Hardraw Force should be on the list with lunch at The Green Dragon.
This makes me want to get over my fear of driving on the left side of the road so I'll be able to visit gems like these. What an absolutely beautiful place, so much history and such amazing Tolkienesque landscapes. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Kat, you may have just planned my next holiday! :D
Wenslydale also goes very nice with Christmas cake. Have been to Otley for the folk festival and also the Green Dragon pub in Hardraw which has a waterfall in the garden.
As old castles go, Richmond Castle is *very* impressive, and well worth a look.
Really enjoyed this video. We go there a lot and we love the area around Muker and Aysgarth, we normally base ourselves in Carperby. Lovely part of the world, thanks for sharing your journey.
The countryside is gorgeous and whimsical and beautiful.
absolutely GORGEOUS! For years I've meant to get up there 🥹 great video!!
Aaah thank youuuu!!! ♥️ the perfect park to escape people, I felt like I had the whole place to myself!!
I was brought up and went to school in Richmond briefly seen at 02:55 - during the 1960s and 1970s before I headed off to the "Big City" of Darlington (🤣).
Looking back, I now realise just how lucky I was. 🙂
Honestly so wholesome and adorable poking your head around the frame for the sheep! 😂😂😂
Malham Cove isn't the same as Gordale Scar as implied by the video. They are just a mile apart, but are different stunning sites.
Really enjoyed this one! Thank you so much. More travel plan ideas for sure
Lovely video! I live in Durham, so 17:33 made me laugh - I do apologise!! :)
I was recording the voiceover and the wave of resentment just welled up in me!!! Noooo, I jest of course, Durham was absolutely lovely! .)
I loved the Dales, it's such a beautiful part of the country and from this I'm looking even more forward to the other National Parks in the UK :) Where else should we visit?
So beautifully shot and put together as always! I’ve only passed through before but you’re making me want to visit properly!
Great video as always! ✨

Right, now tell me! Would you agree with saying Yorkshire is like a sister to Highlands? Also pretty, but not as much as the Highlands of course - they're sisters, not twins ;)
Maybe a cousin 😅 I think the Dales remind me a bit more of the landscape in the Borders or Dumfries & Galloway!
The Highlands don't have the amount of villages/towns and places to go
Emerdale Farm
