Reeth Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

Thought of as the capital of Swaledale, Reeth is a village with a history as rich as its scenery. Incredibly, in its mining heyday, it was producing a tenth of England's lead. Today, its industrial past is evident on the high moorlands, while Swaledale is a tranquil hikers' haven, quieter than the more accessible dales further south. There are plenty of places to eat and stay, including the Black Bull, which dates back to 1680.

Jenny Hill

Highlight • Summit

The start of Arkengarthdale. The road takes you out of Reeth & the wildness of the valley is immediately apparent.

Rout options are the long drag to Tan Hill (avoid when there is a westerly, it can take forever!) or left at the CB Inn up Bouldershaw or right shortly after to climb The Stang.
