Wensleydale Cottages
The Romans, James Herriot, Robin Hood - even Wallace & Gromit
have all made a lasting impression on this well-loved dale,
situated in the northern part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Our Wensleydale cottages come in various sizes
and nestle amid breathtaking countryside. Herds of sheep and dry
stone walls dot the landscape, as do historic market towns and
picturesque villages. Find your bearings at the National Park
Centre in Hawes and sample cheese at the Wensleydale Creamery. The
bull ring in Askrigg, race horses in Middleham, antiques in
Leyburn, the horn blower in Bainbridge…every day brings
somewhere new and something special to see, and you'll always
receive the warmest hospitality.
Attractions close to your Wensleydale cottage…
There are some impressive waterfalls around and about, most
notably Hardraw Force and Aysgarth Falls. And don't miss White
Scar Caves. Travelling with children? Discover a labyrinth of
surprises at The Forbidden Corner or opt for fast-paced fun and
action at the Light Water Valley Theme Park. Heritage sites include
Bolton Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoner and
Middleham Castle,
once home of Richard III. Or wander the ruins of Jervaulx Abbey,
built by monks in 1156 (whose descendents invented the original
recipe for the region's famous cheese, then known as 'Cover
Bridge').
Looking for a special keepsake? Wensleydale has them all -
novelty teapots, handmade chocolate, fine art and exclusive feline
friends from Cat Pottery.
Whether it's a weekend getaway or a full-blown fortnight,
our Wensleydale cottages promise a holiday to remember.
