The area

Where the Dales begin

Ravensworth is a peaceful village gathered around a broad green, overlooked by the ruins of Ravensworth Castle, a few minutes' stroll from the cottage. The Bay Horse Inn is a short walk away for a pint and a hearty British meal, and beyond the village lie rolling hills, meadows and footpaths in every direction.

Eat and drink: The Bay Horse in the village.

“Lovely cottage in a small village”

“The cottage was clean and comfortable, with everything that you could possibly think of, especially in the kitchen, where there was even a complete herb drawer. … The location was fabulous - in the middle of the village and only 6 doors down from the local pub (where the food was out of this world).”
