Thinking of visiting the Dales towards the end of summer.

Not entirely sure where the best place to stay would be, I'm thinking skipton/settle/ingleton as I am relying on trains from Manchester, want to do some hiking/photography

Are any of them considered cheaper to stay at than others ?

Never been in this area before, so know nothing about the place other than anyone whose ever been grabs you and slaps you about until you say you'll visit :D
