It is no longer truly 'Dales' landscape, but this transitional zone of small hills (many of them 'drumlins' of glacial origin) and sheep farms between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks has its own charms, only briefly interrupted by crossing the M6 motorway and the London to Glasgow railway. This part of the Dales Way has few settlements or accommodation opportunities, and so most Dales Way walkers will have spent a night in Sedbergh. You should obtain lunch (picnic materials from shops in the town or a packed lunch from your accommodation) before leaving Sedbergh as there is little or no opportunity for buying refreshment en route. The day's walk will inevitably bring you close to Burneside (3 syllables, with the first 'e' pronounced as if it were 'ey'). There are various accommodation opportunities both shortly before and shortly after Burneside itself - wherever you stay we advise making arrangements to include the evening meal at your accommodation tonight.
