Hawes


Hawes, known as the capital of Upper Wensleydale, is a busy market town. Here you can visit the Dales Countryside Museum, as well as the famous
Wensleydale Creamery.

The fascinating Outhwaite Ropemakers factory is open to visitors on Monday to Friday (free admission).

The hamlet of Hardraw is a level, 1½ mile walk (or take the Little White Bus) from Hawes where, behind the Green Dragon Inn, you can access the steep, wooded gorge that contains Hardraw Force, England’s highest single drop waterfall.

Little White Bus provide a daily minibus link between Garsdale Station, Hardraw, Hawes and Gayle, and Monday to Saturday service 156 up Wensleydale to Hawes from Leyburn.
