Map

The interactive map below shows the approximate location of all the locations currently assigned to this tour. The marker numbers provide a cross-reference to the sequence numbers in the itinerary.

Show / hide tips
  • The maps and aerial imagery will only be displayed if Javascript is installed on your device and enabled for this domain / sub-domain.
  • Note that the marker-positioning is approximate. (It can never be entirely accurate due to slight variations in the positioning of the map / aerial imagery tiles across different map types and scales.)
  • To view brief details for a location in a small overlay window, click / tap on its marker.
  • The layers button (top-right) can be used to switch between two street map layers and an aerial imagery layer. However, please note that interactive mapping makes heavy demands on the internet connection (to download and resize the maps). Page-loading times and data-usage can be kept to a minimum by using the street map layers (#1, esri-world_street_map layer and #2, esri-world_topo_map layer) rather than the aerial imagery layer (#3, esri-world_imagery layer).
  • To view additional information and / or images relating to a location, click / tap on the location's map-marker, then click / tap on the name / brief description in the pop-up window.
  • For additional tips on using the maps and aerial imagery, see "Using the interactive maps".

Practical Considerations

If you are considering a 'real world' visit to Dent Station, you might like to note the following:

  • The village of Dent is four and a half miles away and the only public bus service runs on Saturdays (see the DalesBus website for details - https://www.dalesbus.org/).
