Visitors to Wensleydale enjoy its peace, tranquility and stunning scenic beauty. The popularity of the area has often been captured in stories, film and television.

Blockbuster films such as 'Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves' and 'Elizabeth', the BBC TV series 'All Creatures Great and Small' and Yorkshire TV's 'Heartbeat' have shown the beauty and peace of the Wensleydale landscape.

Mid-Wensleydale is rich in picturesque villages explored easily on foot or by car. There are castles and country houses, waterfalls and woodland.

Stroll the footpaths, enjoy the views, stop at a country pub for lunch, walk along flora-rich riverside meadows. Even at peak season the roads are uncongested.

Town trail leaflets are available locally to help visitors recognise historic features of the towns and interesting features of the buildings.
