Wensleydale Explorer Bus 857: Garsdale Station - Hawes - Redmire - Castle Bolton
​Summer Sundays until 19th October 2025
Now running for Summer 2025!

Download timetable (PDF file)
All single fares are no more than £3 this summer (£1 for under 19s).

Elderly/disabled passes are also valid.


​There’s no need to book in advance, tickets are available from the driver, so you can simply turn up and go!

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.

From Hawes Wensleydale Explorer Bus 857 runs down Wensleydale, passing through Bainbridge, Askrigg, Carperby and Redmire.
​Alight at the small village of Castle Bolton for magnificent Bolton Castle – the superbly preserved 14th century castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned and briefly escaped from, with exhibitions, café, falconry displays and gardens.

Please note this service does not operate on Bank Holidays.

Wensleydale Explorer Bus 857 is operated by Little White Bus
as part of the DalesBus network managed by Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company
with financial support from North Yorkshire Council, Northern's Community Project Fund, Friends of the Settle Carlisle Line and Bolton Castle.
