The Yorkshire Dales became a National Park in 1954 because of its range of wildlife and their habitats, beautiful scenery and local history. The National Park covers 680 square miles.

8.3 million visitors come to see the wonderful landscape, wildlife and village life of the Yorkshire Dales every year.

Happily, the area is sufficiently large so as to ensure that there is plenty of room for everybody!

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is one of the most important areas of the United Kingdom for its rich and diverse wildlife heritage. This ranges from the wildflower rich hay meadows and pastures in the dale bottoms, through to the moorland fringe with its rush pastures so important for wading birds and the windswept uplands with their open heather moorland and blanket bog, to the unique limestone pavements.

A Holiday cottage in the Yorkshire Dales National Park - Halton Gill Cottage

In the Yorkshire Dales, the Upper Wharfedale area, lies our holiday cottage - Halton Gill Cottage - on a small working farm in the tiny settlement of Halton Gill which is in Littondale, an integral part of the Yorkshire Dales, tucked away in a quiet and idyllic corner of the county. So, if being away from it all is what you are looking for, you are in just the right spot!

We have Pen-y-ghent on our doorstep which is part of the 3 peaks.

A taste of small Dales towns is to hand, with Grassington and the market town of Settle only a short drive away.

Our cottage, a recent conversion from part of the farmhouse of Ellershaw Farm, the home of The Dean Family, has one beautifully furnished en suite bedroom which exudes comfort, and which has the most stunning views that you could wish for.

If you enjoy life away from the cut and thrust of the busy life that is found in the more urban areas, you will thoroughly enjoy a break at Halton Gill, where the air is crisp, and the water is from the local springs. Heaven can be no better!

The fields and hills which surround this superb property are still farmed in the traditional way, with breeds of hill sheep such as dalesbred and swaledale together with some native breeds of cattle .

Walkers adore this neck of the woods, and our lovely property is ideally situated for lovely walks for miles around.

Our web site contains a host of information concerning the many natural attractions which are abundant in the area, including Links to some of them, thereby affording you the easy opportunity to see for yourself the marvels that exist in the lesser-known yet still most attractive parts of what is arguably England's most attractive county.
