A Wensleydale Walk

A walk from Redmire Village to Castle Bolton Tea Rooms is just one of the many excellent scenic walks in and around Wensleydale.

Wensleydale in the North Yorkshire Dales is full of delights especially its beautiful scenery and picturesque landscape.

As you walk along cobbled stony footpaths amid an emerald green carpet, washed with masses of golden yellow flora and rose scented hedgerows you will be transcended into a magical world of hidden gems. The soothing trickle of a babbling stream breaks through a background of little lambs calling for their mothers. Showering waterfalls rush down like white fussy lace frills on a tiered skirt , cascading into full flowing rivers with leaping trout.

Foals skip and frolic as they experience a shower of heat from the almost forgotten golden sun rays breaking through blanket blue skies. How fulfilling that journey through hill and dale, to be greeted at the castle by home made treasures such as wholesome Wensleydale cheese or warm rich fruited scones with butter, jam and pot loads of tea/coffee.

All this and more can only be described as the quality and richness of nature at its best oozing satisfaction as the countryman's feast or a nobleman's delicacy. Chill out and decide for yourself when you visit one of the most relaxing and tranquil locations in the North Yorkshire Dales. Stay at a self-catering holiday cottage in Leyburn.
