Miles without Stiles – wheelchair friendly walks in the Dales

The Yorkshire Dales Nation park has routes suitable for those in wheelchairs, buggies or even walking dogs who can’t negotiate stiles easily. They are all under 2 miles.

They try to keep our maps up to date but details and path conditions can change, so do check for current local information about routes before setting off.

The walks are identified as:

Green – Route for all. Gradients will be no more than 1:10 and the surface will be hard and smooth with some loose stones no bigger than 10mm. They are suitable for everyone, including people operating their own wheelchairs and pushchair users. Path widths will be a minimum of 1 metre with passing places.

Blue – Route for many. Existing gradients no more than 1:10, although newly built gradients can be up to 1:8. The path surface will preferably be hard and firm in all weather and may be rougher with some stones of 4cm diameter.
