Bainbridge Village

Highlight • River

A chocolate-box village nestled amongst the Dales, Bainbridge is simply lovely. Surrounded by green farmland, the village has quiet streets lined with grey-stone cottages, tea shops and a pub. Close to the village, you will find Bainbridge Roman Fort as well as the shortest river in Britain – the River Bain.

In days gone by, an ancient horn would sound to guide foresters and travellers to the village through Wensleydale Forest. Although this tradition no longer exists, the horn can still be found in the Rose and Crown Pub and you will hear it played at 10pm from 27th September (Holy Rood) until Shrove Tuesday.

Semer Water

Highlight • Natural Monument

Semer Water is the second largest natural lake in England, the first being Malham Tarn. It is half a mile long. Beside walkers like yourself, it attracts people who like canoeing and fishing or anyone who loves beautiful natural places in beautiful settings.

On the northern bank, there is a car park, which is a good starting point. Spot the massive boulder nearby - these are called erratics, not native to this area, and carried over during the last Ice Age by the glacier. The same glacier carved the entire valley and, indeed, the lake.

Askrigg village

Highlight • Religious Site

Askrigg is a beautiful little historic village and a real treat to hike through, as it has one long main street that's lined with houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. Very quaint, with two pubs, tea rooms, a bakery and a little shop, as well as few B&Bs.
