THINGS TO DO:
A short walk from the cottage will bring you into the heart of Buckden and a handful of local amenities, including the traditional country pub - The Buck Inn. Open daily during most of the year and serving excellent food at both lunch and dinnertime, it's a must after a day of adventure.

From the Village, there are a plethora of walking trails, with the idyllic circular loop passing through Rakes Wood to the peaceful hamlet of Cray, passing tumbling waterfalls and deep pools enroute. Or, walk alongside the river towards the village of Hubberholme where you can visit the local pub (The George) and the (mainly) 12th century built Church, both of which were favourite places of the English novelist J. B. Priestley. The Church pews, choir stalls and chairs were made by Thompson of Kilburn, 'the mouseman', and the trademark carving of a mouse can be found in many places within the Church.

For those looking to seek a more challenging route, climb to the summit of Buckden Pike as it towers over 700 metres, offering panoramic views across the scenic landscape of North Yorkshire from the top.

From Buckden, venture towards the local village of Kettlewell, well-known for its annual scarecrow festival,or travel slightly further afield and you'll arrive at the popular village of Grassington, recently made famous as the film set of the recent series of 'All Creatures Great and Small'. Here, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating local history at Grassington Folk Museum or savour fresh fish and chips with a scenic stroll along the banks of the River Wharfe.

The market town of Skipton is the nearest and largest town to Buckden with several sizeable supermarkets, as well as other familiar high street shops, cafes and other independent retailers. Skipton market is held along its High Street, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and is definitely worth a visit.
There are also plenty of other things to see and do in Skipton, including the 12th Century Castle, Canalboat hire on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal and for golf enthusiasts, the 18-hole golf course.

Other great places to visit are the market town of Hawes and the Wensleydale Cheese Factory, a great day trip for the kids with its connections to the Nick Park creations - Wallace and Gromit and of course of lovers of cheese!

The historic caves at Stump Cross Caverns, which are only a short drive away from the cottage, and the Forbidden Corner, a quirky and unique maze of trails, chambers and follies in the heart of Tupgill Park, in Middleham, near Leyburn as well as the market town of Leyburn itself, which holds its weekly market on a Friday.
