Extracts From Arkengarthdale & North Yorkshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Arkengarthdale, inspired by Frith photos.
The white-painted CB Hotel in remote Arkengarthdale recalls the initials of Charles Bathurst, the 19th-century lead mining master who owned the circular powder house of the CB Smelt Mill nearby. Further up the Arkle Beck is the pub-less hamlet which glories in the entirely-inappropriate name of Booze.
This is an extract from Yorkshire Living Memories.

North Yorkshire Living Memories
Arkengarthdale is a little-visited but very beautiful dale which runs into Swaledale from the north-west at Reeth. It was formed by the Arkle Beck, which rises high on Sleightholme Moor and passes through some lovely hamlets such as Arkle Town, Whaw and Langthwaite, where The Red Lion (centre) is a welcome hostelry in typical Dales countryside.

The welcoming though deserted bar inside The Red Lion shows a typical pub interior, decorated with brass tankards, hunting horns and pewter plates.
