Welcome

To the new Yorkshire Dales Society website…

As we celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2011, we decided to launch a new, more interactive website and to to take a fresh look at the format of our prestigious Members’ magazine, the Yorkshire Dales Review. We hope you all find the website interesting and topical, and that our Members enjoy the new Review magazine (published every quarter). The new look Review is designed to offer a new way of enjoying and celebrating the Yorkshire Dales in words, ideas and images.

We’ve also created a new sharper, brighter version of our logo,incorporating  the beautiful bird’s eye primrose of the limestone Dales.

As a registered charity we rely on the subscriptions and donations from our Members to fund our vital work in campaigning for the protection of the Yorkshire Dales and the well being of its working communities. See the Membership or How to Join buttons for details of our affordable subscription rates and benefits to Members.

As part of our charitable work to raise awareness about this special place, we offer a year round programme of events, walks and talks across the Yorkshire Dales on a host of fascinating topics. Members can attend walks for free, with a small charge (£3) for talks. We are always keen to welcome new prospective Members, so anyone can join one of our walks for free (or a talk for a modest £5 charge) - we hope you’ll be impressed and want to join as a Member afterwards!  See the Events button for the full programme. If you like to get in touch, please go to the Contact page to find our address and phone number (also listed in the footer of every page), or use the Comment box on that page to send us a message!
