Picturesque Settle is archetypal of the Yorkshire Dales. Use it as a base for adventures in spectacular Ribblesdale or head east for the limestone wonders found in Malhamdale. It is famed for bookending the Carlisle to Settle railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe.

Hiking

Settle is a beautiful North Yorkshire market town. We stayed at the Royal Oak Hotel overlooking Market Place which was a great place to stop along the Dales High Way long distance trail. The Co-op was the perfect place to replenish our food supplies for the onward journey by foot to Appleby-in-Westmorland.
