Self-guided walks
Go walking at your own pace with our free resources.
You can download maps and route guides for walks from many of our hostels — picking your difficulty level from easy to more challenging. All our self-guided walks start and end at a YHA hostel. What could be more convenient!
Walk difficulty level
Easy (0 to 20): Straightforward for most, taking about an hour or two. If there’s some ascent, the distance will be short. If it’s flat, the route will be longer.
Moderate (20 to 50): Longer than easier walks, requiring a morning or afternoon. More ascent, more uneven terrain and may require more navigation skills.
Challenging (50 to 70): For walkers with more experience and higher levels of fitness, these routes are either long, challenging to walk or involve an ascent.
Severe (70+): The hardest of all and best suited to experienced walkers. They are long or high, but probably both. Likely to be in remote mountainous areas.
Accessible routes: Accessible means different things to different people. Working with Access the Dales, we have identified a wider range of accessible routes that are close to YHA hostels.
