Ashes Farm

There are all sorts of ways to explore the Yorkshire Dales scenery from here – perhaps you’d like to head out for a walk on the Dales Way, go horse riding on the Pennine Bridleway or take it all in from a leisurely ride on the Settle-Carlisle railway. Or, if you’re feeling particularly energetic, maybe it’s time to tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks – Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside are all fairly close by and make an excellent challenge (in fact, even one makes a pretty good day out for intrepid types…) There’s also the option of heading straight to some of the local landmarks such as White Scar Cave (10 minutes’ drive), the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (15 minutes) or Malham Cove and Janet’s Foss (30 minutes). And how about a true taste of the area? Up in Hawes (20 minutes), you can take a tour of Wensleydale Creamery, taste some of the famed cheese and pick up a piece to take back to your lodge to go with your evening drinks…
