    Hiking

    This former lead and fluorspar mining village was once described by WH Auden as 'the most wonderfully desolate of all the dales.' Indeed, it is superb walker's territory, surrounded by great trails that explore the North Pennines AONB.

    The Rookhope Inn provides food and accommodation, whilst there are a few other private cottage rentals available.
