The Yorkshire Dales Private Tours

The Dales are limestone, drystone walls and field barns, with market towns in the valley bottoms. Hawes sits at the head of Wensleydale, where the creamery still makes the crumbly white cheese the dale gave its name to. Readers of All Creatures Great and Small can visit the World of James Herriot at Thirsk and the filming locations spread across the dales, then take in the view from Sutton Bank. Richmond guards the eastern edge.
