Northern DalesBus 830
Ribblehead - Hawes - Buttertubs Pass - Reeth - Richmond
Summer Sundays from 5th April 2026
Various road closures in the Upper Swaledale and Upper Wensleydale are expected to disrupt Northern DalesBus services 830, 831 and 858 in the next few weeks - please check our news page before travelling as details of the road closures are subject to change.
This scenic bus route, featured on BBC4's All Aboard! The Country Bus,
links Ribblehead Station with Wensleydale and Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Perfect for walking or sightseeing in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Hawes’s attractions include the wonderful Dales Countryside Museum with the celebrated Hartley-Ingleby collection of lead mining and farming artefacts from the Northern Dales, and Wensleydale Creamery, where the world-famous Wensleydale cheese, rescued from oblivion by the legendary Kit Calvert, is made. There is a visitor centre where you can see cheese being made and a restaurant and shop.
Hardraw Force, England’s highest single drop above ground waterfall, is little more than a mile’s easy walk away at the Green Dragon Inn in Hardraw.
The bus then ascends one of the most spectacular mountain passes in the British Isles - Buttertubs Pass, of Tour de France and Tour de Yorkshire fame. There are superb views from the bus windows down Swaledale and back over to Yorkshire’s famous Three Peaks.
The bus travels through Swaledale, regarded by many people as one of the most sublimely beautiful of all the Yorkshire Dales – through the iconic villages of Muker, Gunnerside, Low Row and Reeth to the busy town of Richmond, with it's 11th-century castle and scenic riverside walks.
Low Row features as the main village setting in the 2026 film of "Wuthering Heights". Old Gang Smelting Mills, also featured in the film, are around 2.5 miles walk from Low Row.
There’s no need to book in advance, tickets are available from the driver, so you can simply turn up and go!
All single fares are no more than £3 (£1 for under 19s).
Concessionary bus passes for the elderly and disabled are also valid for free travel on Northern DalesBus 830.
Please note that DalesBus 830 does not run on Bank Holiday Mondays.
