Enjoy a Perfect Day in the Yorkshire Dales

What's your idea of a Perfect Day? For me, it's the chance to see somewhere new, to explore and discover, see a beautiful view, spot an interesting corner I didn't know about, sometimes with the chance to buy something that's been made locally that will remind me of my Perfect Day. Of course every Perfect Day must also include some delicious food and drink! 

Sometimes you just want to explore and find your own Perfect Day but for those times when you'd a recommendation from a local who can suggest a great combination of see-do-eat-drink, we're putting together a selection of Perfect Days. Sign up to Dales Discoveries here so you don't miss any Perfect Days!
