Dyke Hall Lane

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful quiet road for cycling just outside Dent. It links up to Craven Way, a rough bridleway taking you to Ribblesworth Viaduct.

Deepdale Lane Junction

Highlight • Cycleway

Make good choices! This is the start of the climb of White Shaw Moss towards the South. A brilliant, savage climb that's pretty dicey in the winter months!

St Andrew's is a pretty church in the heart of Dent that dates to the 12th century. Whilst the church has been repaired and rebuilt over the years, it retains original Norman features in the blocked north doorway, and in parts of the nave and tower. St Andrew's is Grade I-listed.

Dent Village

Highlight • Settlement

A real must-visit village with cobbled streets, little lumps and gorgeous pastel-coloured houses. On clear days you can see as far as the sea in on direction and towards the Lake District in the other (if it's a clear winter day you might get snow-capped peaks in your line of sight). There's a train station here that's on the Settle-Carlisle line and it's the highest station in England - a bit out of town though. The train line goes over the two huge viaducts (Arten Gill and Dent Head), which were both built using massive blocks of Dent ‘marble’ from local quarries that are now out of use.

Loads of history here (to do with knitting), scattered farms, three pubs and a lot of charm.

Cobbled Streets of Dent

Highlight • Settlement

A very remote little Yorkshire Dales village with steep hills on all sides and cobbled streets

Stepping stones across the River Dee

Highlight • Trail

A lovely set of stepping stones across River Dee in a peaceful location. Obviously, if the river is in spate, just don't. There are bridges in both directions along the river if you continue on the path along the bank.
