  • Swaledale Museum Newsletter 29 Spring 2020 Print
    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances.

  • BR Coast to Coast SG H .Pub
    Active Journeys Britain Self-Guided Hiking Tour Wainright’s Walk Coast to Coast Hike This classic route was originated and described by A. Wainwright; author of a well-known series of hiking guidebooks on the Lake District. The walk starts on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria near the huge red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head. You cross three National Parks before reaching the North Sea at the pretty fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay on the rocky coastline of the North York Moors. The first few days take you over some of the most rugged, beautiful terrain of the Lake District, by way of the idyllic Lakeland valleys of Borrowdale, Grasmere (poet William Wordsworth lived here) and Patterdale, close to Ullswater Lake. You pass Helvellyn, Eng- land's most popular mountain, and the mountain oddly named High Street, along which Roman Legions marched on their way to Hadrian's Wall. After leaving the Lake District you cross a gentler landscape round Shap and Orton. Be- yond the quaint market town of Kirkby Stephen you enter the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Two days are then spent walking through the long valley of Swaledale, with its dry stone walls and unspoiled villages. You reach the historic town of Richmond with its cob- bled streets, market square and famous castle perched above the River Swale. Beyond the Vale of York, elevation rises onto the expansive heather moorlands of the North York Moors, a region of long vistas and easy walking. After crossing the narrow wooded valley of Eskdale you reach the dramatic cliffs of the North Sea Coast.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.

    Lawn House, Low Row, Reeth, Richmond .co.uk Therightmove UK’s number one property website Berwick upon Tweed • Carlisle • Galashiels • Keswick • Windermere Lawn House, Low Row, Reeth, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 6NQ Brief Résumé A Grade II listed 4 bedroomed period property standing in delightful gardens and grounds of approximately 2.8 acres, together with a cottage comprising 2 flats and a large detached garage. Magnificent picturesque Swaledale setting within the National Park, including river frontage. Description Lawn House occupies an outstanding position on the south bank of the River Swale, within the heart of Swaledale, an area famous for its sheep of that name and its natural beauty. Being one of the most northerly dales within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Swaledale is less impacted by tourism and retains all of its rural tranquillity and charm, with unspoilt picture postcard villages, iconic stone cottages, boundary walls and field barns, interspersed by the fast flowing clear waters of becks and streams which feed the River Swale. The area used to support a century’s old lead mining industry which began with the Romans, but there is little sign of that now amongst the lattice of green pastures within the valleys and the surrounding high heather clad moorlands which constitute some of the best grouse moors in the United Kingdom. Lawn House occupies an elevated position above the River Swale with levelled and terraced gardens and grounds around the house, and includes 2 further fields, a fast flowing beck through the grounds together with river frontage to the River Swale. This handsome property is constructed in the local mellow stone and is arranged over 3 floors.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away. North Riding Selseth Bridge in the Parish of Ranbaldkirke became ruinous by reason of the late great storm. Quarter Sessions (NRQS) ?
