Cheesey Does It

The lovely people at Wensleydale Creamery create one Yorkshire's most well known products - Wensleydale Cheese - in their magnificent creamery in Hawes, right in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Cheese making in this area dates right back to 1150 when French Cistercian monks first settled in the Dales and 1897 saw the first creamery built in Hawes when Edward Chapman, a local corn and provisions merchant, started purchasing milk to make Wensleydale cheese on a larger scale.

Nowadays, the creamery contributes over £12 million for the local economy and produce an iconic cheese loved by everyone, including Wallace and Gromit!

Their creamery has an incredible Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese Experience when visiting so, when normality resumes, you should make your way up to explore.
