THE Yorkshire Dales has been named one of the UK’s top destinations for sunset hikes.
According to a new study by Blacks, Yorkshire Dales was ranked ninth in the UK, with an average summer sunset time of 9.19pm and some of the clearest skies of all the regions listed.
The rankings were based on sunset times, cloud cover, and the number of hiking trails in each area.
Natalie Wolfenden, author and outdoor enthusiast at Blacks, said: "Summer is the perfect time to go on a sunset hike.
"The skies are much clearer, making for better sunsets, and the warmer weather helps hikers to be more comfortable."
She also shared advice for anyone planning an evening hike.
She said: "It is important to pack correctly for a sunset hike.
"Temperatures can drop dramatically once the sun sets, and hikers finishing their journey will likely face cold and bitter weather."
