Under a Big Sky - Yorkshire is famous for its landscape which is a playground for walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, climbers and anyone else who isn’t happy unless they are outside and away from noise and people. Settle is well known for the quality of its footpaths with favourite local walks including tackling Yorkshire’s renowned Three Peaks. An easy route with which to start leaves from the market place and goes to Catrigg Force, affording walkers with impressive views of Pen-y-Ghent. Other paths lead to Ingleborough, Stainforth Falls, Pen-y-Ghent and Plover Hill, and Austwick. Alternatively, save your legs and take a short train journey from Settle to nearby Horton-in-Ribblesdale to explore further afield.
Plenty of our holiday cottages have facilities for washing and safely storing bikes. The Settle Loop is well known amongst local cyclists who endure two challenging climbs for the reward of swooping downhills and incredible views. Mountain bikers can also enjoy using the Pennine Bridleway as well as the nearby Gisburne Forest Bike Trails. The Yorkshire Dales is popular for activities like caving and climbing, with local businesses such as Cave and Canyon providing instruction and guided outings for those who want it.
Hollywood Calling - The vast open landscape combined with characterful towns and villages has made Yorkshire a firm favourite with filmmakers who love its authentic charm. No studio set can compare to a genuine Yorkshire community like Settle, which was the setting for the film Calendar Girls. Eight miles from Settle is Malham Cove, which featured in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 and a favourite with walkers for its rugged beauty. Further away but still close enough for a day out are places like Castle Howard, used for filming Brideshead Revisited and the Aysgarth Falls which were a backdrop to Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
All-Weather Attractions - Yorkshire’s weather can vary from gentle to wild, with its unpredictability being part of its appeal. Visitors to Settle will be happy to know that there is an excellent array of wet-weather attractions for rainy days out. The Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly is full of interesting exhibits and useful information about Settle and the surrounding area. Its cafe is also an excellent spot for morning tea or a light lunch - perfect for fuelling hungry visitors for an afternoon of exploring. One of the quirkiest attractions in the country is the Listening Gallery where visitors can choose from a list of stories to hear inside a repurposed heritage phone box.
A rainy day in the Yorkshire Dales can be spent in Hawes or Grassington, both of which are a 30-40 minute drive from Settle. Visitors can go underground in White Scar Cave near Ingleton, or take a trip on the famous Settle - Carlisle Heritage Railway and marvel at the rugged romance of the moors and mountains. Yorkshire has some magnificent stately homes, some with breathtaking art collections as well as a fascinating past. Harewood House is renowned for the quality of its Chippendale furniture; and there are more museums, shops and other distractions in the historic city of York around a 90-minute drive from Settle.
Settle is a fantastic choice for those wishing to experience an untamed landscape whether or not they enjoy it from a cosy cottage in the centre of a market town or a remote yet luxurious rural retreat. The friendly communities coupled with the enormous expanses of national parkland and designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) leave this part of Yorkshire feeling fresh and unspoiled and perfect for anyone who wants a countryside escape.
