We then wandered into the village. A delightful, and typical Dales community. We went to the Dales Countryside Museum. Where Dales life is examined from Roman times through Saxon, Viking, and Norman influences through to present day. A touchy feely place with much to see, a great place to take young children as there is much for them to do. We didn't have any kids with us, we just behaved like kids.




The museum is housed in the old village station (the line was closed in 1959 even before Dr Beeching began wielding his Railways axe) and the displays spill out onto a locomotive and train carriages that stand where the last train from Hawes once stood.








A Dales kitchen (with stuff in it that I recall from my childhood as err... normal.)




At the Doctor's




Milk anyone?
