Drystone walls, stone barns, waterfalls and limestone pavements.

The Dales are green valleys divided by thousands of kilometres of drystone walls, with a stone barn in almost every field. Limestone gives them caves, the amphitheatre of Malham Cove and waterfalls like Aysgarth; Hawes makes Wensleydale cheese, Grassington is a village of cobbled squares, and Richmond has a Norman castle above the river Swale.
