Short and Easy Walks for Kids

Short walks for kids in and around the Yorkshire Dales

Are you looking for walks under 2 miles for the kids (or for you, for that matter?)

Well you are in the right place! You have landed on the menu page for our Short and Easy Family Walks section. These walks are in and around the Yorkshire Dales and you’ll find walks in the National Park, in the outlying towns and villages.

This menu page has become necessary because there are SO MANY WALKS under 2 miles on our website that there are just too many to fit one page! So we have divided them into rough areas; The Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale and the outlying towns of Otley, Ilkley and Skipton.

You might be surprised to know that these walks feature waterfalls, ruins, parks, pushchair friendly routes, woodland walks and more! I say HURRAH for short walks!

So go check them out!

What’s that I see? A MAP!?

Yes, that’s right, you guys asked, and here it is. The map of ALL the Reluctant Explorers family walks!

The one you can see is embedded so you can use it straight from the website, or if you’d prefer, you can view it straight in Google Maps, simple tap the link on the button below.

The benefit of using it directly from the website is that when you tap on each individual walk, you will find the page link to each walk, allowing you to jump straight to the walk information!

The map can be filtered as follows:

Family Walks (purple) | Pushchair Walks (pram) | Waterfall Walks (blue) | Walks Under Two Miles (yellow)

For more types of walks (pub walks, woodland walks etc. Head to the menus above where they are all categorised, depending on what you fancy!)
