Hawes
Home > Hawes | Hawes is a maze of narrow streets with places to eat and drink, hotels and guest houses and some interesting shops. The Dales Countryside Museum is devoted to farming, knitting, lead mining and other industries from the past. It also features a history of the Dales railway as it is situated in the former Station Yard. |  |
 | A visit to the Wensleydale Creamery is a must. You can see the cheese in production; one thousand gallons of milk are churned to make 850 gallons of whey and a by-product of curd, processed into a light, crumbly cheese that's pushed into presses and left to dry. The distinctive flavour of Wensleydale stems from the milk, taken from cows that feed on grasses and herbs full of nutrients from lime rich soil. Due to the success of ‘Wallace and Gromit’ the creamery is a very popular place to visit. It is open all year round and has a fully licensed restaurant and free parking. Visit their websites for special events taking place www.wensleydale.co.uk. A visit to the Ropemakers at Town Foot will show you how skipping ropes, washing lines and church bell ropes are traditionally made. |
| Located in the heart of Wensleydale just off the A684, Hawes is very accessible by car and foot! There is ample accommodation provided as it is a haven for walkers. Bed and Breakfast can be found in farmhouses and guest houses in and around the village. Holiday cottages provide self-catering accommodation for a bigger group and offer very relaxing places to stay. |
