The National Park occupies a vast territory and extends to some 682 square miles. With its numerous sceneries, various castles, great museums, art galleries, shops, the park is a perfect place for holidays. Origin of its name is very fascinating: the country side consists of green valleys called ‘dales’. Most visitors adore this region for its incredible rolling countryside, small and scenic villages with outstanding waterfalls, gorges and caves, underground rivers.

To the most popular places (I mean among tourists) belong Ripley Castle (the castle itself is a rather beautiful building and one can enjoy incredible views from its terrace. What is more, there is a gift shop right near the castle offering a great selection of natural soaps, books, cushions, candles, maps and cards), Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Abbey, but what I like the most about this park, you can find out a lot secret places, hidden from the rest of people. So, if you are looking for solitude and tranquillity, you are welcome here. 

The Yorkshire Dales can be seen in many movies and series, for example, soap ‘Emmerdale’, a movie about Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. That is why, the park is besieged by tourists, but its doors are still widely opened to new visitors.

Scotland is full of various tourist attractions. Be it Edinburgh or Glasgow, well-thumbed tourist hubs or one of numerous villages, I am sure everybody will get tired of excursions, transfers and even pretty views and will like just to relax. As for me, a trip to Scotland would not be complete without staying at “Livingston Hotel”.

“Livingston Inn” was built in 1760 and located in a Scottish conservation village. The most famous lodger of this inn was Robert Burns. His famous song “The Bonnie Lass of Livingston” was written after staying in this hotel. Walls and rooms of the “West Lothian Hotel” have a lot of stories to tell. In Livingston Inn you’ll have rest from the vanities of the world and enjoy the tranquillity of the world, while walking among breathtaking nature landscapes. Forget about hustle and bustle of big city life, tune on calmness!

What is more (it is extremely important ’cause I adore eating something delicious), Livingston Hotel possesses very tasty cuisine and a great choice of wines. I think, their award winning chefs can’t disappoint even a sophisticated gourmand. Booking is also possible.

Livingston Hotel contains 12 en suite bedrooms, private dining area and function suit. It is possible to arrange a business meeting or even a wedding there.

This small oasis of peace and calmness can’t leave you indifferent!
