Details for Lilac Cottage Ref 4261

small village of Sedbusk which comprises a cluster of stone built cottages set amongst Dales countryside. Whilst being completely 'off the beaten track' the village has the benefit of the many amenities of its neighbour - the market town of Hawes - just 1.5 miles away. Hawes, Yorkshire's highest market town, is famous for its chocolate-box, picture postcard appeal and as the home of Wensleydale Cheese. The town is an excellent centre for walking and touring Wensleydale and the adjoining dales. This is a great location for walkers, from the castles at Bolton and Middleham, to Hardraw Force, England's highest single drop waterfall.

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!
