“Ey up, who’s this sniffing about,” I wonder, pulling into Grassington’s car park – that’s more like a field.
Horned Swaledale sheep roam around polished sports cars belonging to ‘offcomers’ (visitors like you and I), here to revel in the glorious beauty of this picturesque part of the Dales.
And it really is picturesque. We’re talking wild, spectacular landscapes of rolling hills stretching to infinity, chequered with rugged limestone walls. Or peaceful walks taking in ancient grass woods, the stunning River Wharfe and sparkling Linton Falls.
