Middlerigg perches above Craster harbour on the aptly named Haven Hill. The motherly arms of Craster harbour’s two whinstone piers hold a protective embrace. The resulting small cove shelters from the wild North Sea. It has welcomed Craster’s fishermen and their cobles for generations. Ramshackle stacks of lobster pots mirror the ragged silhouette of tumbledown Dunstanbugh Castle in the distance.

The Reading Rooms was once the most important community building in Oughtershaw. It was built in the 1800s as a place where people could gather to share news, but it is now a gorgeous self-catering holiday cottage in the Yorkshire Dales. Rather than cover its rustic walls and humble origins, the owner has retained features like hand-hewn oak beams and the big stone fireplace, softening them with comfortable furnishings and attributes suited to 21st Century needs. There is a beck that runs along the bottom of the garden so children and pets should be supervised at all time.
