Family Friendly Walks

Arranged by Location

Where do you fancy today?!

The Yorkshire Dales National Park, Ilkley, Nidderdale?….

If you have an area in mind, or perhaps you are visiting, choose a location and check out all the family friendly walks that we have in the area! We have now rearranged all of our Yorkshire Dales National Park walks into areas as well to make it more easy to navigate!

On each page you will find a difficulty guide and key to tell you all of the family friendly features of the walk ranging from walks suitable for the very young up to older age walks that are more of a challenge.

You’ll also find out what all the best bits are for the kids, whether that be somewhere to paddle, places to collect blackberries, conkers or pine cones, or maybe even a place to feed the ducks, or learn about to super cool facts or history about the area (yes, I know that might not be ALL that exciting for the kids but HISTORY RULES!)

So take a look, our walks cover more or less all of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the outlying towns and villages!

All our Family Friendly Walks on One Map!

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!)
