The surrounding landscape is world renowned for its beauty and with the famous limestone, dry stonewalls, twisting country lanes, rugged high fells, heather-clad moors, ancient broadleaf woodland and sleepy meadows.

In the summer you can still often see and hear the beautiful sounds of curlews, oystercatchers, lapwings, wheatears and skylarks.

The stunning gardens of Parcevall Hall are just a few hundred metres away from the cottage, and it is only a few miles from Bolton Abbey, the village of Burnsall and Stump Cross Caverns, a magnificent set of show caves.  The closest market towns are Grassington, where the recently rebooted series of "All Creatures Great and Small" was filmed, and Skipton known as the "Gateway to the Dales", where you can also see the impressive Skipton Castle.
