Known as the “Land of Waterfalls and Caves”,  the village is most famous for its Waterfalls Trail, White Scar Caves, the Yorkshire Three Peaks and Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle train line.

After spending some here we continue on a scenic drive through the national park taking in the picturesque scenery  to the market town of Hawes.  This town is the home of the Wensleydale Creamery where the famous Wensleydale Cheese is made in all of its varieties.  Enjoy free time here and a chance for you to enjoy your lunch.

 

Later we travel west through the moors making a stop at Sedbergh - An attractive historic market town full of character from its cobbled streets to its historic houses, some of which show the hallmarks of the old knitting and woollen trades which made the area such a thriving community.  After free time we then return to the hotel.
