Askrigg – known as Darrowby in All Creatures Great and Small! – is a handsome base for a stay in the Yorkshire Dales. It lies just 12 miles from the lovely town of Leyburn, which is packed with shops and cafes galore. Head there on a Friday and catch the weekly market. History fans won’t want to pass up the chance to visit Bolton and Middleham castles (7 and 14 miles away respectively). Natural beauty is in abundance in this part of the country, and it’s well worth visiting Aysgarth Falls (5 miles) and White Scar Cave (20 miles), two of the remarkable sights you can enjoy while in the area. Just 5.5 miles away, at Hawes, is the Wensleydale Creamery Visitor Centre – a must for all cheese fans! Hawes is also home to the Dales Countryside Museum, which tells the story of the people who have lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales over the past 1,000 years.
