In essence this route heads over Grinton Moor into Wensleydale, follows the valley westwards, then climbs Buttertubs and returns along Swaledale. Of course that means two long steep climbs and fast descents to cross the high moorland in between the valleys. 1. Pass down through Reeth and cross the river. Shortly after on the right is the Dales Bike Centre. The main road then goes sharp left by the Bridge Inn, but you turn right signed to Leyburn. 2. Climb steeply up, cross a cattle grid and continue on passing Grinton Youth Hostel. The road zig zags over a stream and continues to climb up on to the moorland passing a military area. At a crossroads go straight on and descend in to Leyburn. 3. Turn right as you enter town and go straight over at a mini-roundabout. Descend away from Leyburn on the A684, and then take the first road on the right after 1.5 miles signed Preston and Redmire. 4. Follow this road through to Redmire (short diversion to Bolton Castle) and continue on to Carperby. Another short diversion takes you to Aysgarth Falls. 5. Continue to follow this road up Wensleydale passing through Woodhall and Askrigg.

In the centre of the village there is a high-stepped cross dated 1674 which tells of the time when Carperby had a market (granted in 1305). In the 17th century the village was an important Wensleydale centre of Quakerism with it's classically-styled Friends' Meeting House of 1864. The name of the Wheatsheaf Hotel, located in the village suggests a corn-growing past, and the inn itself was where James Herriot and his bride spent their honeymoon in 1941.

  • The Penhill Benefice Brochure
    The Penhill Benefice Brochure The Diocese of Leeds In this new diocese, less than three years old, we are working with three core objectives: . Confident Christians: Encouraging personal spiritual renewal with the aim of producing clergy and laity who are confident in God and in the Gospel. Growing Churches: Numerically, spiritually and in their mission to the wider world. Changing communities: For the better, through our partnership with other churches and faith communities, as well as government and third sector agencies. The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The Bishop of Ripon is the Rt Rev’d Dr. Helen-Ann Hartley. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ.

  • Traditional Farm Buildings Survey
    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI.

    Carperby, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 01 March 2001 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1.0 Introduction This character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It follows on from a Conservation Area Workshop Meeting with the residents of Carperby on the 10th August 2000 and a walk around the village with residents on the 10th September 2000. 2.0 The location and setting of the Village Carperby is located near to the lower end of Upper Wensleydale on gently rising, but undulating ground a short way to the north of the deep gorge cut by the River Yore which contains the dramatic Aysgarth Falls. Immediately to the north of the village the terrain begins to rise more steeply over shallow scars towards the open moorland of Great Wegber and Carperby Moor. The minor road from Askrigg (6 kilometres to the west) to Redmire passes through the village on it’s way to the market town of Leyburn, at the foot of the dale, 10 kilometres to the east. There are dramatic views outwards from the village, particularly at the east and west ends but also occasionally from gaps between buildings towards Penhill, Bishopdale and Addlebrough to the south west. These have been identified on the attached Character Analysis Map for the village. 3.0 The historic origins and development of the Village The origins of Carperby as a place name are somewhat obscure and open to various interpretations. The most popular opinion is that the name is Scandinavian in origin, probably dating back to the occupation of the area by Danish Vikings in the 10th Century Carperby Conservation Area Character Appraisal 01-03-01 with map 1 with –by meaning farmstead or holding, while –kjarr is ancient Danish for a bushy bog area.
