The Yorkshire Dales

Both our sites are in an ideal place to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. As a historic location, the Dales are popular with many different tourists.

Exploring The Outdoors

The Howgill Fells are an ideal place to start when it comes to walking around Sedbergh. As the main marker between Cumbria and North Yorkshire, they offer incredible views and scenic strolls. From the highest waterfall in the UK, Cautley Sprout, to Simon’s Seat on Langdale, there is something for everybody. For more about the walking routes, see the Visit Cumbria website.
One particular hidden gem to check out is the small village of Dent. Located south of Sedbergh, it is known for links with former Cambridge University Professor of Geology Adam Sedgewick. History here can be traced back into the Viking era and in the 18th century Dent became well known for knitted products. More details about the village can be found on the Yorkshire Dales National Park website.

The History Of Sedbergh

The popular book town of Sedbergh has an estimated population of 6,000. St Andrews Church dates the area back into the 12th Century and it is thought that a market has been held here since then. However, evidence of Saxons, Vikings and Normans have also been found here.
Sedbergh sits on one of the most popular commercial trading routes through the Pennines and close to four rivers known for trade. A lot of the original buildings still stand today and there is still a strong community feel.
In the past Sedbergh was well know for its agriculture and wool industry. Locals working here produced a number of products traded across the UK, including socks and hats. The railway station was first opened in 1861, bringing more trading to the area. However, this closed in 1954 and has never been reopened.
