More about this scene

At the source of the Ribble and the Wharfe, the village has been a centre for granite, slate and limestone quarrying for over a century. St Oswald's Church in the village dates from 1120, and a grammar school was established here in 1725. Situated between the great hills of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, the village is a popular centre for the Three Peaks walk. For safety reasons, walkers on these 2,000ft hills are asked to check out and in at the local cafe.
