A perfect day in Reeth

Around the corner, the Silver Street studios are host to Lacey's Cheese (excellent cheese-making courses), The Threshing Barn (wool crafts), and Michael Kusz's incredible Graculus Sculptures.

There are two really good places to find out more about Reeth and surrounding area: Hudson House, the Yorkshire Dales National Park info & exhibition centre (make sure you wander around the small but beautiful community garden with a min-exhibition in the old Privy!), and Swaledale Museum. The museum is a very special place that feels well-loved and cared for. It's not large but it manages to cover a lot of history in its small space. it's full of local treasures and has a very unstuffy, hands-on attitude.

Don't miss Scenicview Gallery, full of awe-inspiring landscape and animal photographs, really capturing the essence of the area. You can admire more art and craftsmanship at Fleece.

After a good walk, there are several pubs and cafes to enjoy, including the lovely Reeth Ice Cream Parlour, celebrating their 25th anniversary.

Take some time to wander around a little - there are lots of intriguing details, shops and other spots to discover. Please remember to check opening times before setting off on a long journey.
