If you're a fan of walking adventures even in the cold winter months, a hiker has discovered a gem in the Yorkshire Dales that you might wish to consider checking out for yourself. "Have you heard about this village in the Yorkshire Dales?" Chris queried in a video. "It's got a perfect circular walk that's easy to do on the train from Leeds."

Stepping off the train, Chris revealed it has a "secret waterfall" spot as he was immediately greeted by the stunning views of the Dales' countryside. However, despite its Dales location, the village he referred to is actually in Cumbria, not Yorkshire itself.

Following a stream in Cowgill, Chris continued his trek. "I picked up the Dales Way... there's multiple walks that you can do here and I actually did an 11-and-a-half mile walk, which took me five hours," he shared.

And for those less inclined to clock up as many steps, Chris suggested parking is available in the village of Dent for a splendid view of the waterfalls.

The quaint village of Dent itself is roughly an hour and 45 minutes' stroll from the railway station "but absolutely worth it", Chris affirmed as he navigated its charming cobbled streets. "I visited the church and stopped outside for a cup of tea and a very well deserved sandwich," he added during his journey.

Chris went on to describe Dent as a "beautiful village to explore" with "hardly anyone around" on a Sunday, despite the traditional pub - the Sun Inn - being open.

And regarding the waterfalls, he recommended making your way from the car park towards Flintergill. "It's a really steep track to get up there," he cautioned, however "I definitely got quite sweaty."

Chris then arrived at a gorge where the river cascaded down numerous mini falls amid stunning surroundings. "These are some of my favourites, but there are multiple as you head up the track," he noted.

Naturally, with the route being circular, Chris arrived at Dent station by day's end after following the valley floor. "What a fantastic day out," he concluded.

Writing in response, one TikTok user queried Chris on his route. "The station is Dent on the Settle to Carlisle line (goes from Leeds), cost £21 from Shipley so probably similar from Leeds," he said.

Another person shared: "Our family fell in love with the Dales in the 90s. Since then my mum has relocated to Skipton. It's a stunning part of the world. Dent and Cowgill both lovely."

A third added: "I've stayed in The Sun Inn in Dent when I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks, it's so cute!"

Whilst a fourth TikTok user gushed: "Beautiful. Would love to do this." Chris replied encouragingly: "Go! It's free bar transport and if you book in advance you could get super cheap tickets.

"With its narrow, cobbled main street, white-walled cottages and ancient village church, set in a deep, narrow valley, Dent, in Cumbria, is one of the loveliest of Dales villages," according to the Yorkshire Dales official website.

The statement continues: "Village cafés like Stone Close, with its original cast iron range, offer a tantalising selection of home-baked treats, while the town's two pubs both extend a warm welcome and serve excellent cask ales. The George and Dragon is the tap house for Dent Brewery and has bagged several CAMRA awards for their cider and perry. The Sun Inn takes pride in its no-nonsense, traditional ambience."
