Superb walking and cycling is available direct from the door, a perfect base from which to explore the pretty Dales villages. Try the circular walk from Redmire to Aysgarth taking in both the Redmire Falls and spectacular Aysgarth Falls. Castle Bolton where Mary Queen of Scots was held in the 16th century is a stone’s throw away or enjoy a stroll through the Bolton Estate to Wensley that gave its name to the entire Dale.
Nearby are the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn with their many shops, pubs, restaurants and craft workshops where craftsmen display their skills and sell hand made products. Historical castles and ruins are numerous with Bolton Castle almost on the doorstep and Middleham Castle a few miles away. From Middleham square you can sit and watch the impressive sight as the racehorses pass through on their way to the gallops. The Forbidden Corner is just down the road with its labyrinth of tunnels and underground caves to explore. There is so much to do and see you will certainly want to come back. Shop and restaurant 5 miles, nearest pub 200 yards.

We are predominantly walkers so an ideal house and location for us offering comfort after long walks especially a bath to soak in and an extremely comfortable bed to rest our tired legs!

The cottage is clean, spacious and well equipped. It’s in a quiet location and only a few minutes walk from the village pub, which serves good food and drink. There’s no shop in Redmire so it’s a drive into Leyburn if anything is needed, but we brought everything we needed so didn’t need to. The welcome pack on arrival was one of the best we’ve ever had plus there were enough logs and kindling for the open fire to keep it going for a few days.You can’t park immediately outside the cottage but it wasn’t a problem as there is ample parking available in the village itself. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future.
