Things to do in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

June 12, 2021 Marlin Saiz

One visit to the Yorkshire Dales and it’s easy to understand why the unspoiled countryside is the setting of so many novels. Must-see sights among the land’s lush woodlands and expansive moors include Hardraw Force (the longest single-drop waterfall in the North), Gordale Scar, and well-known hill range, the Three Peaks. Less adventurous visitors can rest easy, walking through the manicured lawns of Parcevall Hall Gardens or appreciating Skipton Castle’s medieval architecture. Although some prefer to take in the land’s wild beauty by foot or horse, the most popular way is via one of the park’s famed cycling routes.

My little tractor mad boys love this shop and we’re so lucky to have it on our doorstep.

The knitted garments in this shop are beautifully made by hand with intricate patterns. They are made from quality yarns. The cost in materials and time justify the prices, but they are outside my budget. Good to look at though.
