Details for Black Barn Ref 4236

Location: Tiny Boldron is a settlement in the wonderful countryside of Teesdale, and is made up of a handful of stone houses, farms and a good local pub. Boldron is exceedingly well placed for those wishing to enjoy good walking in this part of the Yorkshire Dales, with the Pennine Way and Teesdale Way running very close by, and lovely walks by the River Tees and to the renowned High Force waterfall on the doorstep. The nearest town of note is Barnard Castle, whose cobbled characterful streets hold a variety of shops, pubs and eateries, and whose castle ruins and riverbank still offer a wealth of interesting afternoon strolls. With good access to attractions in the northern Dales and up into Northumberland, this is a great destination for your Yorkshire holiday.

From stunning countryside and bold limestone scars, to lively market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer? Surely nowhere as much as in the Yorkshire Dales? Both a National Park and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the region's stunning scenery includes rolling hay meadows, striking limestone formations, grand heather-laden moors and picture-postcard perfect villages. A paradise for walkers, the Yorkshire Dales attract enthusiasts from far and wide as the long distance Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast routes pass through the area. Cycling through the Dales is also popular - keen cyclists will enjoy the varied scenery and occasional 'hilly' sections of the 130 miles of Yorkshire Dales Cycleway, as it winds its way through Swaledale, Wensleydale and Coverdale. All of this, as well as exploring the imposing rock formations, echoing caves and potholes, will satisfy the most adventurous spirit, whilst Semer Water, the largest natural lake in Yorkshire, will keep any water-sport enthusiast happy. If you're looking for more relaxing pursuits, there's much more to see than magnificent scenery. Stone-built villages nestling in valley bottoms, picturesque towns with vibrant craft centres and markets, imposing castles, stunning gardens and fine architecture are all part of the Dales' appeal. Grassington, Wharfedale's main town, boasts beautiful cobbled streets and quaint shops that take the visitor on a journey back in time, whilst the lively town of Hawes is home to the award winning Dales Countryside Museum, a fascinating range of shops and craft galleries and a sample or two of the famous 'Wensleydale' cheese at the Creamery is a treat not to be missed!
