From a
wealth of opportunities in our area we present here just a sample of local tourist attractions and Yorkshire activities for
you to consider, starting with the village of Buckden which has its own
Community web site, carrying a wide variety of information that is
regularly updated and we encourage you to visit it at:
www.buckden.org
Other
local activities are both varied and plentiful:
Sailing
/ Horse Riding /Horse Racing / Climbing / Pot Holing / Hot Air Ballooning
/ Canal Boating / Bird Watching (esp. at the Malham
Tarn Field Centre) / Mountain Biking / Riverside Walking – the
Dales Way runs through Buckden / Fell Walking – Buckden Pike
rises from the village to over 2300Ft and the Three Peaks (Whernside,
Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough) form a real challenge.
There
are truly excellent golf courses, set in wonderful Yorkshire scenery – we
are members of Bracken Ghyll G. C. (who offer discounted green fees
to our Guests) and Catterick G.C., and can give advice on many more.
The River Wharfe is renowned for trout fishing. Local reaches are
owned by Bradford City Angling Association, for whom we are the ticket
holders. The nearest fishing reaches are a very short walk from Dalegarth.
