Local interest Overlooking the village green, on the way to the village pub, this lovely old stone cottage is a delightful escape from the stresses of everyday life. Redmire is a traditional Dales farming village with a friendly part time village shop and post office only a 5 minute walk through the village. The village also has The Bolton Arms, a real ale inn serving home cooked food in the restaurant, again only a few minutes walk away. On a Thursday evening around 8.30pm, the mobile fish and chip shop stops at the cross, just a few short paces from the cottage. Wensleydale and other areas in the Yorkshire Dales offer some of the best cycling, riding and walking in England, with its eye catching and dramatic scenery and idyllic market towns that are quaint and interesting to visit. You will find cycling routes and walks for all abilities. South View Cottage is perfectly located for walkers with a multitude of public footpaths that run from Redmire. The village of Reeth is 7 miles over the hill and close to The Herriot Way and The Coast to Coast Walks. It is on The Yorkshire Dales Cycle Way and serves as an ideal base for all. Visitors in the autumn and winter months will benefit from seeing the many waterfalls in the area at their 'full' and most spectacular. A one mile walk across the fields takes you to the magnificent 14th Century Bolton Castle where legend says that Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. From there, a four mile walk will take you to the impressive Aysgarth Falls where scenes from the film 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' was shot. Take a train ride from Redmire on the Wensleydale Railway to the market town of Leyburn and walk the 5 miles back along 'The Shawl' with spectacular views of Wensleydale and Penhill. Wensleydale railway runs selected steam trains throughout the summer. The Forbidden Corner garden is an excellent day out and their folly is something not to be missed, on your way to Middleham. Other nearby attractions include the Creamery at Hawes the home of Wensleydale Cheese, Hardraw Force (Britain’s highest drop waterfall) and The Black Sheep Brewery at Masham. There are gardens at Constable Burton Hall and Thorp Perrow Arboretum Golf, horse riding and fishing are available nearby. |
