Walking in the Yorkshire Dales: South and West. Dennis Kelsall

      Although both natives of Lancashire and living not far from Preston, Dennis and Jan Kelsall regard the Yorkshire Dales as within their back yard and regularly walk there.

      As professional outdoor writers and photographers, they have written and illustrated many guides covering some of the UK’s most popular walking areas and, as well as contributing to various magazines, produce a weekly walking feature for the Lancashire Evening Post.

      Their enjoyment of the countryside extends far beyond a love of fresh air and open spaces and an appreciation of scenery. They have a keen interest in the environment, its geology and wildlife, as well as a passion for delving into the local history that so often provides a clue to interpreting the landscape.
