Shepherds Cottage
Shepherds Cottage is a delightful, Grade II listed, 17th Century Dales Stone self-catering Cottage surrounded by beautiful open countryside. It is one of the earliest farmhouses in the Yorkshire Dales, built in 1633, and it has recently been renovated to include modern bathroom suites, antique pine and Laura Ashley prints while carefully retaining original features such as original mullioned windows, natural stonework, pitch pine floors and the exposed wooden beams. This cottage is truly a getaway from its all-rural retreat and is situated in a very special, peaceful and romantic setting.
Locally is Hardraw (famous for Hardraw Force, England's highest single-drop waterfall) and The Green Dragon Inn, which date back to the early 13th century and offer excellent food and great ales. Askrigg (The fictional village of Darrowby used in Herriot films) is just over a mile from the market town of Hawes in Upper Wensleydale.

About the location
Visit the Yorkshire Dales and enjoy a holiday in glorious Wensleydale, the heartland of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The unspoilt countryside is as diverse as it is dramatic from rugged fells and open moorland across limestone hills to rich green valleys with tumbling waterfalls, delightful villages and quaint farming hamlets. Traditional hay meadows, isolated field barns and characteristic dry stone walls.
Hawes is Yorkshire’s highest market town and the stock market centre of Upper Wensleydale. Its name means ‘pass between the mountains and it does indeed nestle between Fleet Moss at 1900 feet and Buttertubs Pass at 1726 feet.Home to the famous Wensleydale Cheese, the town itself offers a wide variety of shops and craft workshops with plenty of good pubs and restaurants tucked away in attractive little courtyards.
Dales Countryside Museum and Tourist Information Centre, Hawes Ropemakers and Hawes Auction Mart. A gentle stroll away is the quaint village of Gayle with the river running through.
Wensleydale is a walker’s dream with glorious walks to suit everyone from a gentle stroll by the river to tackling the Pennine Way. Picturesque villages are plentiful and these afford access to the neighbouring dales. The cottage is an ideal base for walking or touring and there are many ancient castles and abbeys, fine country houses and tiny village churches to visit. Call in at a Farm Open Day, come to one of the local sheepdog demonstrations or simply relax amongst the peace and solitude of the hills.
