Synonymous with Wensleydale cheese, Hawes is one of the highest market towns in England at 850 feet (259 m) above sea level. There are records of a market here right back to 1307 and on a Tuesday you can still expect a lively trade.

Being an important stop off on a couple of long-distance trails, there are plenty of places to rest your head at night. If you want to delve deeper into what makes this rural community tick, the Dales Countryside Museum is well worth a visit. The surrounding countryside is glorious, with great hiking on the windswept Pennine moors.
