Smelthouses A charming little hamlet. The name suggests extracting metals from ore, but all trace of this site is now lost. It was probably from monastic times.

Harewell Hall, Nidderdale A traditional Dales farmhouse which looks as though it dates from the 17th century, although the projecting wing to the right poses a question. Is it of a similar period, or is it possibly a 19th century addition built in a sympathetic style?  The dressed stonework is certainly different from the main part of the house.
