Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority

Peaceful, well kept, always a delight to visit.

We had a walk around Bainbridge to day. We will definitely be going again. We didn't go on the Dales walk , just round the village and the green. The play area is marvelous for the kiddies, not just little ones, there is also a cafe, pub and a local butchers, and B n B. W parked on the perimeter of the Green, there is a donation box for the up keep of the Green which is done by volunteers.

God's own Country! There's no better description, because if you try just you run out of superlatives! We stayed at Keld in the North of the Dales travelling in from Scotch Corner past the Tan Inn, through winding countryside, with dramatic views that change every few hundred metres. Be aware that the roads can be very narrow with sheep wandering along without a care...its bloody lovely! We stayed in one of the many Bed and breakfasts but there are campsites and even Yurts if your looking for something different! We visited Ravenseat Farm, the setting for the much loved, UK Chanel 5, 'Our Yorkshire Farm,' and being big fans were delighted to find the family apparently unaffected by their celebrity status! They served Cream Teas and mingled, chatting to everyone! Many of the locals will tell you to visit Buttertub Pass but be warned its not for the faint hearted 😃 but you will be rewarded by magnificent views! Homeward bound we traveled Southward through the Dales, coming across the most beautiful little villages, which was far better than jumping straight on the motorway!

We walked from Bainbridge up the old roman road and over to Semer lake and back. Wasn't a clear a day but none this less still a beautiful walk

Am unspoiled dales village where there is still PO and pubs. Unusually for me the pubs weren’t visited I was driving,instead The Stone Close Cafe was where we enjoyed a sandwich. The village has an excellent parking facility and toilets. Finally If you are an impatient driver don’t even think a about a cost so narrow are the roads.
