Local attractions

  • Mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, West Witton is one of Wensleydale's oldest villages dating back to the 11th century
  • It is still very much a “working”, mostly farming, village with a friendly and thriving local community supporting a typical friendly Dales pub, a quality restaurant with rooms (The Wensleydale Heifer), and an ancient church and a village green with a pond
  • It has close connections with the James Herriot TV series "All Creatures Great and Small"
  • Don't miss the "Burning of Owd Bartle" & Witton Feast every August
  • Within easy reach are the charming Dales towns of Richmond, Ripon, Knaresborough, Harrogate, Skipton and York
  • Castles to visit include Middleham Castle, the childhood home of Richard III, and Bolton Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned for a time
  • Interesting abbeys close by include Fountains Abbey, near Ripley, of particular interest as it is the largest and most complete of the Cistercian abbeys in England
  • Hawes and the wensleydale cheese factory ("Wallace & Grommett") is just 12 miles up dale
  • For those interested in antiques one of the largest auction houses in England (as seen on TV) is nearby, offering regular sales; Bob at Ivy Dene repairs and restores antique clocks and your enquiries about your own clocks or valuations are welcome
  • Pony trekking, fishing, golf (there are seven courses nearby), walking the many well-mapped footpaths, climbing, cycling and caving are all activities available in the Dales
  • If you prefer something a little less energetic, why not just enjoy a picnic in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside before returning to Ivy Dene to rest and relax in the comfort of your room
