There is an abundance of hostelries within easy reach - many by a stream or mill pond where you can enjoy a pleasant meal or a drink. The village once came under the jurisdiction of Jervaulx Abbey, the ruins of which are only 10 minutes' drive away. Gardeners will enjoy the Thorp Perrow Arboretum and the gardens at Constable Burton - and don't miss the weird and wonderful "Forbidden Corner" near Middleham! Ideally placed for exploring all of Wensleydale, Swaledale and Wharfedale, and the city of York is less than an hour away.
