At the heart of Ribblesdale is charming Settle, a quaint market town standing beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain and situated on the edge of the Yorkshire dales National Park.
The 1769 square kilometres of the Yorkshire Dales National Park has been described in many different ways; as wild, expansive, tranquil and at times awesome and bleak. It is, however, one of the finest upland areas of Britain, ideal for outdoor recreation or touring between the area's many picture postcard towns and villages. There are a wide variety of attractions to suit all tastes and ages, quaint country pubs and charming tearooms, but above all, an unspoilt peaceful environment offering a real escape from everyday life.
