Braithwaite Hall, located in the scenic county of Yorkshire, is a historic heritage site that holds significant cultural and architectural value. Situated amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the hall is an emblem of Yorkshire's rich history and charm.

Dating back to the 14th century, Braithwaite Hall was originally a fortified tower house that served as a defensive structure during medieval times. Over the years, it underwent various expansions and renovations, resulting in the hall's current appearance, which blends elements of medieval, Tudor, and Georgian architecture.

The hall's exterior features striking stone walls, mullioned windows, and a grand entrance adorned with a beautiful wooden door. Inside, visitors are greeted with a mix of elegantly decorated rooms that showcase the hall's rich heritage. Intricate woodwork, ornate fireplaces, and antique furniture contribute to the hall's unique character and provide a glimpse into its past.

Surrounded by lush greenery, the hall is set within well-maintained gardens and offers breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales. The grounds also feature a charming courtyard, a picturesque pond, and well-manicured lawns that provide an inviting atmosphere for visitors to explore and relax.

Now managed by a heritage organization, Braithwaite Hall is open to the public, offering guided tours and educational exhibits that delve into the history of the site and the surrounding area. It stands as a testament to Yorkshire's rich architectural heritage and continues to be a beloved destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Witton Fell Taken by the River Ure, this looks south west to Witton Fell. The summit is now well smothered by a plantation - for me, though it marks the entrance of Wensleydale proper.
