On the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and across the River Ribble from Settle, Giggleswick is a delightful little village. Climbers are attracted to the area thanks to Giggleswick Scar, an impressive limestone crag, while hikers have the Dales at their fingertips. It is a particularly good base for exploring spectacular Ribblesdale, a short hop to the north.
