The village lies at the foot of the moor between Swaledale and Wensleydale.
The whole village is built on water; the beck rises on the moor, goes under-
ground and then comes out at the top end of the village. A mill race is
channelled off so that there are two becks flowing through - one goes along
the top between the houses and the green in the picture, then under the
road at the end and down to where there used to be a mill.

Bright blue skies and lush green - it's worth all that rain!

There is never any shortage of water in this village mistlethrush - we are often practically swimming in it.

How interesting Weaver - it's a treat to learn about countries thousands of miles away from one.

There is a local term for lying between two Dales - and I can't remember what it is, can you?
