Lovely quaint village, brilliant for a bite to eat or to stock up on refreshments if your passing through

Bedale is a small market town in the district of Hambleton. It is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and is ideally situated for many of the Dales attractions.

This place is a small independent café based in Aiskew, Bedale. It's a great place to stop for a coffee and cake.

A mill was recorded here in Little Crakehall in the Domesday Survey of 1086AD. The current mill dates mainly from the 17th century and is an excellent example of a country corn mill. It was once owned by the famed Neville family of Middleham Castle but became Crown Property in the 15th century and was sold by James I in 1624.

The bridge was originally built in 1422, probably rebuilt in the late 16th century and widened in 1792.

Bedale is a thriving market town centred round a cobbled, Georgian square. It still continues its 750 year tradition of holding its market on a Tuesday. As it is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales it makes for a great base for exploring further. There are a number of great cafes in the town or for something cycling specific try the Tandem Cafe on the Bedale Road heading north east from the centre. There a number of interesting historic buildings in Bedale, including Bedale Hall, the Leech House (used by an apothecary to store leeches) and the Old Grammar School.

Good location to stop for a spot of lunch. If you haven't brought it with you, there are plenty of shops in Bedale to buy some food and then come to the park area and grab a bench table to eat and drink at. (Public Toilets available).
