Steeped in history, this sleepy corner of the Yorkshire Dales even offers a castle with large motte, still 30 foot high, with two clearly visible baileys to the west and south.

Holiday cottages can be found here in abundance so why not make a weekend of your trip?

There’s so much to see, you’re best seeing it from the air. And with nothing but views right off a picture postcard, can you resist the delights Burton in Lonsdale has to offer?
