Langthwaite is perfect for the outdoor enthusiasts. The wild, rugged and varied scenery provides miles of walks, both low-level, gentle strolls along the river and more challenging high-level walks. With high mountains and valleys lined with streams, there are endless footpaths around the most spectacular scenery. The area is increasingly popular with cyclists and the nearby Dales Bike Centre offers cycle hire. The ‘Swale Trail’ runs from Reeth to Keld and is ideal for families. At the end of a long day of exploring, the cottage is within easy walking distance of two pubs. 8 miles further, the road climbs slowly up the valley to eventually reach the highest pub in England - the Tan Hill Inn.
