Here’s a selection of sights tempting you to visit the lovely Yorkshire Dales and especially the beautiful village of Burnsall on the River Wharfe, regularly featured in All Creatures Great and Small and also the star of Calendar Girls! These pics show the gorgeous reflections of the trees in the river on a evening stroll (tranquillity itself) plus the craggy rocks at Loop Scar and then the old village Stocks, where miscreants would be placed as punishment in past centuries. Interestingly, they are sited unusually, inside the village churchyard. It is believed that the churchyard boundary expanded at some point in the past, meaning they became beached in sacred ground! Last of all we have a very cheeky lamb peeping over the dry stone wall! Plenty of those around at the moment!
Come and experience it all for yourselves at lovely, cosy Fell Beck Cottage - just a mere 50 yards or so from the renowned Red Lion pub. Lots of availability still in August and beyond:
