Travel just 6 miles east and you will find the dales village of Reeth. Amongst the cluster of old stone houses, there are local bakeries, an ice cream parlour and tea rooms, whilst the village pubs serve food at lunchtime and in the evening. Friday is market day on Reeth Green, where you can haggle away and find a range of unique local crafts and produce.
