First trip to Yorkshire Dales

Guest
Hello everyone
Never been to the Yorkshire Dales (really....). Hoping to go soon in my mirco campervan but like to have a basic plan of a route so I am thinking:
Skipton - Settle - Bentham - Ingleton - Hawes - Aysgarth - Breeth - Richmond - Bedale - Marsham - Rippon - Grassington - then home
Probably wont do it all as probably other places to detour. What do you think of my proposed route and any recommendations for stop overs/places I should visit?
I will be travelling with my dog so dog friendly places a must.
Many thanks.
 
oh you will love the dales.......so much of them to see........plus so many of them all with their own characteristics and charm.
which ever route you take....enjoy your travels
 
The falls

Aysgarth is lovely if in a very small camper call the green dragon, we used to camp behind the pub with access to the falls, we camped their when they filmed "princess of thieves" and skinny dipped in the falls lake. I would also recommend the buttertubs for a stop off, Tan hill would not disappoint could stop over at the pub small cost? or just go a half a mile further and wild in the disused quarry think it's still on the PO'S, campsites around Hawes charge a premium but lots of little pull ins around for a small camper arrive late and leave early i can't see any issues. Enjoy a beautiful part of the country.:)

Hi A Lovely little spot to wild camp near Hawes is Semer water, a small charge for parking paid at near by farmhouse (or he will come to carpark) but well worth it.

Skipton and Ingleton have official spaces in their car parks . Reeth (? I think you mean) has a car park and a great pub . I've stayed in Masham can't.remember where I parked . There is a nice campsite (if you needed facilities) at the bottom of the hill
 
POI closed off

Just to let you know I mentioned The quarry near Tan Hill as a possible wilding spot, passed it today and it is now gated off so no access :(
