From a
wealth of opportunities in our area we present here just a sample 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
For a
major source of tourism information, visit the 'Yorkshire Dales National
Park' online at:
www.yorkshiredales.org.uk . Their comprehensive calendar of
the 'Check for Events' section is particularly useful.
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 scenery.
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.
