For when it’s raining?
Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day, clear, warm, sunny just perfect and today, oh my, its raining! Talk about the English weather, well I suppose we do talk about it all the time! Got thinking about what to do when its raining and thought…… caves!
West Witton in glorious Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales
West Witton is a linear village perched on the lower slopes of Penhill in Wensleydale, a settlement known to have been here since Anglo Saxon times. Stone cottages, Georgian houses, a hint of Victorian, new builds all add to the mix of this vibrant little village with its thriving community.
On the hunt for Six Mosaic’s on the Bartle Trail near West Witton in Wensleydale
One hot afternoon we set of in search of the Bartle Trail and six mosaics dotted on the hillside above West Witton in Wensleydale. There is an official Bartle Trail walk going up Kagram, Green Gate, Nossil End and Stony Gate but having walked that way
Peaceful village of Preston under Scar near Leyburn in Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales
Have you ever been to Preston under Scar? It’s not a village you would go through as the main routes bypass the village to the north and to the south. If you haven’t been its time to take a detour and have a little look!
A walk of footbridges, footpaths, moorland, woods, stunning views and the River Cover in Coverdale
A very different walk for me the other day, I’ve probably said it before but I’m amazed at how many footpaths I haven’t walked so close to home. Thinking myself as a bit a walker it can come as a bit of a shock sometimes although extremely enjoyable finding and exploring new ones.
Brymore Ice Cream parlour, a lovely walk on a sunny afternoon in the Yorkshire Dales
Our little family all decided to meet at Brymor Ice Cream Parlour at High Jervaulx near Masham, have a walk and then finish with one of their super ice creams. We parked at Brymor, plenty of parking and all socially spaced, donned boots and hats etc and set off for a walk just less than five miles, mostly easy going.
Saturday morning at the market in Masham in the glorious Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale AONB

Thorpe Perrow Arboretum near Bedale in Lower Wensleydale
Over thirty years ago would be the is first time I visited the Arboretum at Thorpe Perrow, in my ignorance I didn’t even know what an arboretum was! It was a WI trip, an evening event, a summer evening I suppose, but remember it was cold and not at all sunny but was still very impressed with what I saw even then.
The Excitement of Steppingstones in the glorious Yorkshire Dales
A few weeks ago Geoff, my husband, and I did a short walk, nearly three miles, from Cover Bridge along the river bank in the direction of Middleham in Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. The walk I’ll recount below.
Perhaps a little inspiration for the beginning of June
Felt this poem by Brooke Hampton was one that everyone could relate to whether just for right now or at other less scary times. Hope you enjoy and do take some inspiration from it.
