    Welcome to Sykes House Bed and Breakfast Main Street, Askrigg, North Yorkshire, DL8 3HT Tel: 01969 650535 www.sykeshouse.co.uk We hope your stay with us meets your expectations and you feel relaxed and comfortable in our home. If you have any questions or problems please speak to us Thank you Alison and Michael ABOUT SYKES HOUSE AND ASKRIGG Sykes House is thought to have been built in the 1600’s, it is a Grade 2 listed building and therefore it retains many of its original features including the stone spiral staircase, exposed beams, sash windows and fireplaces. On the front of the building can be seen the Winged Wheels of the Cycling Touring Club, more information can be read at the back of this pack but we do know that around 1888 our plaque was placed and members then knew that they would be welcome to stop during their journey and have refreshments. The building was a Temperance Hotel at this time, so consequently; only tea, coffee and soft drinks would be served. Previous owners of Sykes House opened up their living room as a shop to serve the local community and it has grown into the store it is today along with the Tea Room and B&B. The cottage next door to the shop was not built until the late 1700’s, there used to be stone steps outside that led up to a hatch that is now behind the bread shelf. People would approach outside and whilst remaining on their horses would be served refreshments (mainly ale) through the hatch.

  • Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg
    Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg Allen Kirkbride is the third generation of his family to farm at Townhead. ‘My Grandfather took the farm in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. He bought cattle throughout the Dales. My Father followed on, he did a little bit of dealing and carried on the farming.’ Allen stepped into the role and continued the dairy business. ‘I’m 68 and we’ve always done it! I was brought up with it, so it came as second nature.’ In his time, he made some changes, including the introduction of pasteurisation on the farm and an expansion of the milk delivery business beyond Askrigg, first to Bainbridge, and eventually supplying every small shop in Wensleydale and Swaledale. In mid 2017, just a month before this interview took place, Allen stopped delivering milk to doorsteps. ‘It was just too much for my son to take on, and carry on. You need family staff really, so we’ve retired from that and we now send our milk to the Creamery at Hawes to make the famous Wensleydale Cheese.’ The milk comes from the herd of Fresian/Holstein dairy cows that graze in fields around the farm for part of the year, and spend the wetter, colder months, in the farm’s sheds. ‘We’ve got a hundred head of cattle at the moment but a lot of them are young ones, heifers. We’re milking about fifty. As he always has done, Allen continues to milk twice a day, every day, beginning at around 5.30 in the morning.

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.
