This picturesque
village with its historic houses astride the green

The area is rich in
natural beauty and wildlife but it also has
tremendous architectural, agricultural and
industrial heritage. Agriculture thrives with the
Swaledale sheep providing wool, and the cows, milk
for the famous Wensleydale cheese. There are many
local crafts in Swaledale and the nearby Wensleydale
and these crafts are illustrated at museums in Reeth
and Hawes. |

Good walking (including the Coast to Coast path) can be found
amidst magnificent scenery, caves and waterfalls. The River Swale is famous for its beauty
and there are many well-signed walks along its banks.

miles), Castle Bolton, Middleham and Jervaulx Abbey. Travel West over Tail
Bridge to the market town of Kirkby Stephen, South over the Buttertubs
pass to Hawes or North over The Stang to Barnard Castle. |
