Kettlewell is a typical Dales village which remains delightfully picturesque and unspoilt. It is surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and provides the perfect base for walking or touring, with many fine circular walks from our front door.

Skipton prides itself on being "The Gateway to the Dales" and is our nearest town. It has a colourful market 4 days a week. At the head of the town is Skipton Castle one of the best-preserved medieval castles in England and is open to the public.

Malham Cove is nearby, once a waterfall and now an impressive cliff, topped by an extensive area of limestone pavement There is also Middleham Castle where you can climb the battlements to enjoy the magnificent views once enjoyed by Richard III. Locally there are some fine limestone caves which are open to visitors. Or climb aboard the Settle-Carlisle Railway and travel through the heart of the Three Peaks country and over the soaring Ribblehead Viaduct, bound for the Eden Valley and Carlisle.
