A folly, an enormous 'tunnel', a famous train station and the world's oldest music hall: Settle has more than its fair share of historic attractions within a beautiful setting, with 76 listed buildings. The most prominent one is the Grade 1 listed The Folly Museum and Coffee House, Settle, which has a really good cosy cafe too. The Folly name is a bit misleading - the beautiful building was so-named after being empty with no obvious purpose for a while.

There are plenty of other reasons to Visit Settle. Within the town, narrow ginnels (or gennels or whatever you call them in your area...) thread their way in and out of the square. Settle Victoria Hall- The World's Oldest Music Hall is just round the corner and has an excellent programme of events. It's worth going to, just to admire the imaginative decor in the loo!

There are two other outstanding landmarks nearby - the railway station where you can board the Settle Carlisle Railway CRP and the incredible Hoffman Kiln - you'll have to visit to understand its scale and industrial beauty.

Look out for the regular guided walking tours of Settle, which start again at Easter.

Skipton is already one of the country’s most ‘liveable’ places – a proposed railway reopening would further enhance its appeal
