Rural Wensleydale Wensleydale is generally wider and more lush than other valleys in the Yorkshire Dales. Here are flocks of sheep, but the accent here is more on cattle, particularly dairy herds which provide the raw material for the Hawes Creamery, home of authentic Wensleydale cheese.

Burtersett village No need for a 30mph limit here as the narrowness of the village street makes half that speed seem risky. Burtersett was an old stone quarrying/mining settlement which a thousand years ago must have been the site of a Viking summer farm [sett/seter]. The current name was previously Beurtresate, meaning the seter by the elder trees [circa 1200]
