Wensleydale is probably the best known of all the Yorkshire Dales thanks to the locally produced cheese, however it has much more to offer than that and is sometimes referred to as Waterfall Valley for pretty obvious reasons. The wide, lush valley floor sweeps from west to east and is bordered to the south and north by high fells.

A mile north of Hawes is one of the country’s most impressive waterfalls, the 100ft Hardraw Force, which cascades has such trajectory that you can walk along a footpath behind the wall of water. North of Hardraw is a series of limestone potholes known as Buttertubs, which is passed by a road, known as Buttertubs Pass that links Wensleydale with Swaledale in the north.

Further to the east are Aysgarth Falls, where the River Ure makes its way down a series of limestone steps that continue for almost 1 mile. Aysgarth is also the start and finish point for the 55-mile round trip of the Herriot Way, which takes in both Wensleydale and Swaledale to the north and covers the ‘patch’ of the Britain’s most famous vet.
