Hag Dyke, on the slopes of Great Whernside in a stunning location, is a hostel administered by Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide Group in Ben Rhydding. The hostel was donated to the group in 1947.

The building is quite old. It was originally a farmhouse and occupied at least as far back as 1730. The kitchen area in the house is the oldest. At 1,525 feet, the house is believed to be in the highest position of all the houses in what used to be West Riding.

Cracking location, a nice looking hostel in a top spot. Nice to see them flying the flag of St. George too, and that's a Welshman saying that. This place would make a fortune too if it sold coffee and cake in this location!
