The pretty village of Rosedale Abbey has a rich history. It was the site of a Cistercian Priory during the Middle Ages and was a hub of industry during the Industrial Revolution, when ironstone was mined in the surrounding moorland. Today, Rosedale is a delight to explore on foot and the village has a few good options for post-hike refreshment.
