Location
About the surrounding area of Hawes HouseWell-situated in the centre of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Hawes is a picturesque market town brimming with cosy pubs, boutique shops, and fascinating history, all surrounded by rolling hills and moors. While Hawes House boasts superb views over the dales, it’s only a short stroll from the local restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops, and local attractions – including the locally sought after fish and chips!
Hawes has a long history of dairying, hence its renowned Wensleydale Creamery (8-minute walk) from where Wensleydale Cheese comes from. The Creamery offers a range of cheese-making demonstrations, a small museum, viewing gallery, shop, and café.
Hawes is a fantastic base for exploring the Dales’ natural wonders. Indeed, from the nearby Green Dragon Inn (5-minute drive) it’s a short and easy walk to Hardraw Force Waterfall – the highest above round, single drop waterfall in England. You can also walk from Hawes to the village of Sedbusk if you feel like stretching the legs first thing.
If that taste of nature gets you going, there is no shortage of fantastic walks. There is, for instance, the walk from Hawes to Aysgill Force which takes you past Wensleydale Creamery, through the streets of Gayle, and to the waterfall of Aysgill Force. Another is the circular walk of Semerwater/Raydale, the first half of which runs alongside the lake and the climbs out of Marsett up the valley and returning back towards Countersett.
And lastly, if you prefer four-wheels to walking, don’t worry, there’s something for you too. You can take a scenic drive up Buttertubs Pass, Jeremy Clarkson’s favourite road in the UK. This road of twisty turns and undulating valleys boasts great views.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith the Hawes House’s stunning location looking out onto the Yorkshire Dales, kids will enjoy the freedom to explore local meadows, woodland, creeks and hilltops, much of which can be readily observed from the house.
Something the young ones are sure to love is a sheepdog demonstration. Local farmer Richard Fawcett holds weekly demonstrations in a field just outside Hawes where he shows how his gorgeous, good dogs work the sheep.
The Dales Countryside Museum (6-minute walk) is another interesting and educational opportunities for the kids. Housed in an old railway station and boasting fascinating exhibits including Bronze Age spearheads, kids will especially enjoy the railway carriages with their children’s activities.
Children (especially English children) will be particularly enthused by the prospect of seeing red squirrels at Snaizeholme, where a dedicated public viewing area on the Red Squirrel trail. Grey squirrels have largely pushed the red squirrel entirely out of its habitats in England, making this place particularly special.
