Spanning some 680 square miles, the #YorkshireDales National Park is a brooding, rugged, dramatic and ancient stretch of land. Created over millennia by glacial erosion, it’s a staggeringly varied location with #waterfalls such as the 90ft single-drop Hardraw Force. Speaking of water features, be sure to check out the Petrifying Well whose mineral-rich waters turn items to stone - including Agatha Christie’s handbag, which is still hanging there today!
