More about this scene

The Yorkshire Dales are criss-crossed by a network of ancient drovers' roads, like this one in Coverdale, a quiet dale which runs into the lower reaches of Wensleydale. They are usually characterised by their width: large herds of cattle, sometimes from as far away as Scotland, were driven down them by generations of drovers to markets in the lowlands.
