Hawes in Wensleydale is the ideal base for exploring the delights of James Herriot's Yorkshire and the Dales National Park. An App for your iPhone, Android or Blackberry smartphones; presented by the Yorkshire Dales National Park is available from the three respective links. The present version covers the area around Malham in the south and Hawes in the north of the National Park.
An example of the content on the App in the Hawes vicinity is the Snaizeholme red squirrel trail, a 9.5 mile (15km) self-guided linear walk, starting and finishing at the Dales Countryside Museum, Hawes. The trail consists of route instructions and a map, accompanied by an mp3 audio file which describes what you might see as you walk along and helps you learn more about squirrels and their habitats.
