The attractive Swaledale village of Keld is no stranger to long-distance trails: the Pennine Way National Trail, Wainwright's Coast to Coast and the Herriot Way all pass by. As a result, there are quite a few accommodation options in its surroundings. It's not all about long-distance hiking either, as there are some great objectives for day hikes around Keld too. Great Shunner Fell and Nine Standards Rigg will draw hillwalkers, while several waterfalls can be visited from the village, including the dramatic Kisdon Force.

This is a beautiful, charming Yorkshire village that is a fulcrum for local outdoor activities. There are many hiking options from here, including the one I did today, which was a loop around and up Kisdon, which was a stunning nine-kilometre amble. In the village, there is also an honesty box car park, toilets, and a beautiful heritage information centre around the historic hub of the old school and village chapel.
