セマーウォーターのおすすめライド

地元産のウェンズリーデール・ブルワリーのエールが豊富に揃っており、セマー・ウォーター（ウェスト・ウィットンにある、こちらも強くお勧めのフォックス・アンド・ハウンズで飲んだ素晴らしいペールエール）や、ホッピーでシトラス系のセッションエールであるファルコナーなどがあります。バーのジムから温かく迎えられました。犬連れもOKなので、ルートを歩いた後には理想的でした。

One of the largest and most open village greens in the Yorkshire Dales, historically used for markets, fairs, and livestock trading — the social heart of Swaledale long before tourism arrived. The green’s broad, triangular shape reflects its medieval origins as a common grazing and gathering space. Plenty of parking around the village green, but having arrived at 7am in winter for a hike and finding them all full, I suspect other times of the year will be even more difficult to secure a space.

A classic stretch of high Pennine moorland, shaped by centuries of lead‑mining, with old hushes, spoil heaps, and trackways still etched into the heather. The moor forms part of the Reeth–Grinton–Harkerside upland block, giving wide, open views over Swaledale. Spectacular under a layer of snow in winter.

worth a visit

A wonderful village on the Coast to Coast Path. There are plenty of places to stay around the village green. The village youth play football on the lawn, including the very young ones. Very nice!

Whether you go up to the castle or hook a left further along in Redmire, you will need your granny gear!

Have a look at the famous Yorkshire Creamery, also known from the Wallace and Gromit movies;) You can watch the cheese making at 10.15am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and last chance at 3.45pm. Free tasting of different types of cheeses and factory sales of those. Nice, little shop with all types of cowish, sheepish and Yorkshirish devotionals.

Fantastic loop from Hawes to Muker then Cross tops to Askridge then steady back to Hawes . The climbs are tough but an awesome ride
