Tourist Guide

Bridge over Gayle Beck. This bridge carries the Dales Way over Gayle Beck. It replaces an earlier footbridge - a long narrow structure only negotiable to pedestrians. This substantial piece of carpentry needs to withstand the passage of heavy laden logging trucks, to allow access from the forest plantations on Cam Fell and Greenfield onto the B6255. In the process this excellent portion of the Dales Way has been ruined - will it ever be restored to its former glory once the trees have all been removed? The Pennine Bridleway has also been channelled this way.

Our first time in a pod but we loved it. We stayed with our two young children, who were sad to leave! The pod was clean, cosy, had everything you need and on a quiet but secure site. We booked very last minute but had an easy check in with great communication from hoasts. Would come again x
