Across the road from the cottage is the Dales Bike Centre and CakeryâŠwe recommend visiting for one of their showstopper cakes or possibly the best jacket potatoes Yorkshire has to offer (in our opinion anyway!).
A short five-minute walk away in Grinton is the Cathedral of the Dales, St Andrews Church and one of the areas popular pubs, The Bridge Inn. The Bridge Inn offers a selection of well-kept ales, fine wines and of course a tasty food menu. Just œ a mile in the opposite direction is the bustling village of Reeth with more amenities including three pubs, one hotel with bar and restaurant, five cafes, 2 bakeries, a gift shop and post office homing the village shop stocked full of essential supplies. The Reeth Market visits the cobbles just off the village green every Friday with some of the finest local suppliers in the area including a butcher, cheese monger, fish monger and a fruit and veg stall.
A D Coach House is in an ideal spot to explore the area. There are numerous walks straight from the door. Situated at the foot of Fremington Edge, donât miss out on the stunning views from the top, after the challenging (but worthwhile) climb of course! Alternatively, sample some of the gentler lower level walks the area has to offer along the banks of the River Swale.
Cycling is extremely popular in the area, especially since the area was thrown into the spotlight hosting the Tour de France in 2014. The route remains popular for many road cyclists, as is the iconic circular ride to the Tan Hill Inn â the highest pub in England. Mountain biking is also huge here and gravel is growing in popularity. With the Dales Bike Centre so handily close hiring a bike couldnât be easier if you donât own your own. They offer a range of bikes from mountain bikes and road bikes to some fantastic E-Bikes.
