Knaresborough and Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal
This one is not in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, but a beautiful area nonetheless with plenty locally to see and do. We stayed in the small village of Thornton Watless in between Masham and Bedale and used this as our base for the weekend to explore some fantastic areas. We called at Knaresborough on […]

Settle, Ingleton, Kirkby Lonsdale and Malham Tarn
We’ve stayed local to Settle a few times; we’ve been camping in Austwick (highly recommend the food at the Game Cock https://gamecockinn.co.uk/), glamping at Peaks and Pods in Rathmell (https://peaksandpods.co.uk/) and a few years back my husband treated me to a night away at Falcon Manor just outside Settle (https://www.falconmanor.co.uk/). Settle is another fantastic market […]

Aysgarth, West Burton, Thoralby and Bolton Castle
We’ve visited Aysgarth Lodges twice. We booked through Hoseasons and tripled up our Tesco Clubcard vouchers making our stay a little cheaper. The park is fantastic with a restaurant and bar on site as well as Molly’s Farm which our little boy loved to visit each morning to watch the animals have their breakfast. The […]

Hawes, Bainbridge, Semerwater and Snaizeholme
Hawes is a bustling market town in the heart of the Dales. We’ve never stayed in Hawes but always call in when we’re in the area, usually to visit the Wensleydale Creamery. You can go on a tour of the factory, but we tend to just head straight to the gift shop to pick up […]

Buckden, Cray, Hubberholme and Yockenthwaite
The top of Wharfedale, to me, is the most beautiful place in the world. I feel a sense of calm and serenity when nestled between the hills and I could sit and watch the world go by for hours on end. This is why we have visited The White Lion at Cray on a few […]

Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss
This one is my favourite walk in the Yorkshire Dales – I’ve walked it in wet & wild conditions when the stream running down from Janet’s Foss has burst it’s banks and made for some very soggy walking boots. And I’ve walked it on beautiful spring days when the views of the rolling hills from […]

Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink Festival
I spent my 20s going to music festivals – I was never really in to the boozy girls holiday, I was much happier sat in a field, drinking cider and listening to music. The Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink provides the perfect alternative for me now I’m 30-something, with a family and can’t quite hack […]

Nidderdale
Nidderdale borders the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is an AONB for good reason – we have visited Nidderdale only once when we were staying in Grassington travelling east along the B6265 but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back soon. Our first stop was The Coldstones Cut. I don’t profess to […]

Appletreewick,Burnsall and Grassington
If you travel a little further up the B6160 from Bolton Abbey you’ll reach a branch in the road where you can turn off towards Barden. Take this road and follow the road signs towards Appletreewick. Appletreewick is a beautiful village with two pubs: The New Inn and Craven Arms. We haven’t visited The New […]

Bolton Abbey and Hesketh Farm Park, Wharfedale
Bolton Abbey offers a day out in itself. There’s plenty of parking but if you’re planning a visit on a sunny day or at a peak time (such as the school holidays) I’d recommend getting there early as the roads in get really busy. We tend to park in the car park in the village […]
