Yorkshire Dales National Park
In 1954, an area of of Yorkshire, England, was designated as the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The park is north-east of Manchester; Leeds and Bradford lie to the south, while Kendal is to the west, Darlington to the north-east and Harrogate to the south-east.〔(Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales National Park )〕 The national park does not include all of the Yorkshire Dales. Parts of the dales to the south and east of the national park form the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The recently-approved westward extension of the park into Lancashire and Cumbria will encompass much of the area between the current park and the M6 motorway, increasing the area by nearly 24% and coming close to the towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Kirkby Stephen and Appleby-in-Westmorland.〔(Natural England - Lakes to Dales Landscape Designation Project )〕〔(Yorkshire Post )〕〔(BBC website )〕
