The attractive old market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), with its old-world atmosphere, is not only set in the magnificent western dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park but is also close to the rugged eastern fells of the Lake District. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has been a thriving community for hundreds of years, with a market dating from the 13th Century. Leading from Sedbergh is Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry-stone walls, stretching 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey. At the centre of the dale is Dent, with its cobbled streets, which has existed since Norman times and nearby Dent railway station is on the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, and fishing, and the area is a paradise for walkers, ramblers, runners, and cyclists. This, together with the tranquillity of the surrounding valleys, the two National Parks and it being England's book town, makes an ideal year-round holiday destination.

    We realy enjoyed our time in Sedbergh. It would be wonderfull if there are more than 4 dishes (plates, bowls, cutlery ...), there are no plates for serving food. Anyway, it IS a great place to be, Martin

    It’s a real gem, both the cottage and the book town of Sedburgh. The cottage is quiet, private and comfortable, yet just seconds down Kings Yard, is the Main Street. We had a lovely meal at The Black Bull, book online. Thank you to owners Julie and Brian for being there if needed. Don’t just wonder if you should go. Just book it !!
