This lovely stone built
cottage is in one of the Dales' most picturesque villages. The cottage is set well back from the
road with large gardens to front and rear. It has a small south facing
conservatory which enjoys breath taking views over
the surrounding countryside. With little to disturb the
peace
and quiet,
Fellside makes an ideal base for a relaxing Dales holiday.
Appletreewick is situated
between village of Grassington and the bustling
market town of Skipton (winner of the 2008 award
for best high street in Britain). It
is in the heart of Wharfedale -the setting for the film,
Calendar Girls. Appletreewick
village boasts 2 award winning traditional pubs, both of
which serve food and traditional ales.
There
is an abundance of places to visit and things to do to
suit all ages and energy levels. Children enjoy a walk
to the river to feed the ducks, Hesketh Farm, Embsay Steam
Railway, children's fishing, pony trekking, scrambling
up the gorge at Troller's Gill, swimming in the river,
playing on the rocks. For the more energetic there are many scenic
walks from the door including the Dales Way following
the banks of the River Wharfe as well as Simon’s Seat
(1600ft/485m), the valley of desolation, Troller’s
Gill and Strid Wood
at Bolton Abbey.
Other
local attractions include Stump Cross Caverns - a set of
beautiful show caves, Parcevall Hall Gardens and Bolton
Abbey which forms part of the Duke of Devonshire's estate. Grassington is host to a varied arts festival in early June and to Dickensian pre Christmas celebrations. If you want another reason to visit this beautiful area, then check out the links to these events on the Local Area page.
Two
World Heritage sites which are worthy of a visit - the
National Trust property of Fountains Abbey and Studley
Royal Water Gardens and the industrial village of Saltaire
