Kettlewell is an archetypal Yorkshire Dales village in Upper Wharfedale. With Buckden Pike to the north and Great Whernside to the east, it is superbly located for a ramble or two on the high fells. Inns, cottages, campsites and a youth hostel mean that there are plenty of places to rest your head at night.

St. Mary's church is set in the quaint Dales village of Kettlewell, literally just beneath the shadow of Great Whernside. At over 800 years old, it has long been a place of peace and tranquility. It has a serene, peaceful ambience about it, is well kept, and has quite an expansive meadow area mixed in amongst the gravestones to better manage the local wildlife. A very pretty place if you want to speak to your maker!
