Full Description: The Dales Way is a long distance footpath of about 80 miles (129 km) situated in the north of England and running from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere. By following as far as possible riverside paths, it offers a scenically attractive route from urban West Yorkshire to the Lake District, which any reasonably fit family can undertake in a week's holiday. Although not always well served by public transport the Way, by following natural and sometimes ancient lines of communication, passes through many villages, and so accommodation is not a problem, although it is advisable to book in advance.

At Bownwess-on-Windermere, the Dales Way Footpath runs right by the walker friendly Bleheim Lodge. The guest house is the first accommodation walkers come too enroute for the path, as it is literally a minute's walk from the footpath. Walkers are welcomed in and made at home in their comfortable lounge which boasts magnificent Lake Windermere views with a cuppa and biscuits, and of course outside taps for cleaning boots and a drying room for damp gear are available too.
