A converted 17th Century building which nestles into the hillside by the hamlet of Gawthrop, Wilsey is just one mile from Dent. It affords breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and the rolling hay meadows in the summer months are a delight to behold. For more information please follow the links below.
Wilsey is located close to the hamlet of Gawthrop, just above the village of Dent in the picturesque valley of Dentdale. This makes it an ideal location for those wishing to explore not only the local Dales but also puts Wilsey within easy reach of the nearby Lake District. The area has an abundance of wildlife with Buzzards, Badgers, Foxes and Deer regularly being sighted from Wilsey.
The local rivers abound with Salmon and Trout thereby presenting anglers with plenty of opportunity. There is an array of golf courses nearby, including Sedbergh, Casterton and Kirkby Lonsdale. The nearby village of Dent with its cobbled streets is home to a fine Norman church and has strong connections with the traditional Dales hand knitting industry.
In addition to the usual cafes and convenience stores Dent is also home to two Public Houses, both of which welcome families and serve traditional ales and food. A granite fountain on the cobbled main street commemorates local geologist Adam Sedgewick, who discovered the nearby Dent Fault, which separates the limestone Dales with the shales of the Lake District.
