CARLTON-IN-COVERDALE

Leyburn 5 miles.

The attractive and traditional old village of Carlton-in-Coverdale lies in one of the Yorkshire Dales' best kept secrets, Coverdale, a narrow valley flanked by imposing fells, historically dating back to the old mines and packhorse trails. The village is made up of traditional old stone built dwellings, a few farms, guest houses and a famous old pub, the Foresters Arms which boasts traditional Ales, old beamed ceilings and an open fire to create a lovely convivial atmosphere of its own. Nearby Middleham is a lovely old village best known for its famous racing stables, the 'Gallops' and its Norman Castle which dates back to 1190. Towards the south lies the equally famous village of Kettlewell with its pretty centre, two lovely old pubs and the River Wharfe winding its way down through the dale. Nearby is the Forbidden Corner, one of the Yorkshire Dales' most intriguing attractions.
