Barnoldswick

Barnoldswick is an historic market town. In the early 12th century the monks of Fountains Abbey founded a monastery but the locals did not welcome this move and the monks decided to relocate to Kirkstall and complete their plans for an Abbey there. More than a generation later the monks finally built a church, St Mary-le-Gill, just outside the town centre.

Have a relaxing family day out at the Letcliffe Country Park with a lovely picnic and play area the whole family will be happy. The park has outstanding views all over the Yorkshire Dales and is easy to reach from the town.
