Happy Christmas!

This house is in Healaugh.

Swaledale hit the National news yesterday 8th December as flooding caused widespread disruption and damaged homes and bridges.  Several roads were shut but are now reopened.

Snowy Swaledale 7th December 2011

Autumn in the Dales has been particularly lovely this year.

The colours are still spectacular and the weather is stunning for the time of year!

Bonfire Night in Reeth

Photos of Reeth's amazing bonfire night last night, with the largest bonfire seen in recent years.

GOOD LUCK to all the riders in this year's SCOTT TRAIL- a marathon of endurance on trial bikes which takes place around the Reeth area on Saturday 22nd October.

This distinctive bridge can be found at Old Gang Gill, near Reeth.  

After heavy rain there was lot of froth in the rivers, including this unusual circle and square!

We thought the circle looked like a simnel cake with it's marzipan apostles on the outside.

The bridge was probably associated with the extensive lead mining works, and is now a popular place to walk to, perfect for families with young children as it isn't far from the main road.  

It is a great place to have a picnic once you have arrived.
