Thought of as the capital of Swaledale, Reeth is a village with a history as rich as its scenery. Incredibly, in its mining heyday, it was producing a tenth of England's lead. Today, its industrial past is evident on the high moorlands, while Swaledale is a tranquil hikers' haven, quieter than the more accessible dales further south. There are plenty of places to eat and stay, including the Black Bull, which dates back to 1680.

The Burgoyne (named after Mrs Burgoyne Johnson) was built in 1783 and stands on the idyllic green of Reeth. Formerly known as Hill House, the hotel was converted into a guest house and then a hotel after WWII. May Sinclair characterizes Hill House in her novel, The Three Sisters, as the home of Miss Kendal. The "Swaledale Walk 5 May Sinclair's Reeth", is a short walk that takes you around and above Reeth to discover crucial places featured in two of her novels.
