Wensleydale, from Leyburn to Hawes

 

 

 

 

Starting in the market town of Leyburn, you set off up the dale but soon turn off the main highway and keep to the minor roads to visit Castle Bolton, Aysgarth Falls, Bainbridge, Askrigg, Hardraw & Hawes.

 

 

Aysgarth Falls was the location for the scene from Kevin Cosner's film, 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves', where Robin fights Little John for the right to cross the river.

 

 

 

You don't have to enter Bolton Castle to answer any of the questions, but you may wish to allow time to visit this historic monument.
