My guess is that our visitors will, in the main, be from areas with bigger, better, mountain scenery than the dales have to offer
I'm fortunate to have traveled widely visiting caves in many countries and agree the scenery is often absolutely stunning, however today I went exploring the bridle paths around Austwick/Wharfe/Feizor and the views were wonderful - fields of yellow buttercups, even fields of bluebells up by Oxenber Woods, hedgerows of frothy cow parsley, lambs skipping about and walls, lots of limestone walls - if you are new to the area and are coming to Eurospeleo 2016 - you are in for a treat and I highly recommend you find time to explore the bridle paths too.
