The Rock and Gem Shop is located in the thriving Yorkshire
Dales town of Hawes, the heart of Upper Wensleydale. Experience
the weekly street market, livestock auction mart, Wensleydale
cheese dairy, ropeworks, pottery and Countryside Museum.
The Upper Wensleydale area is an area of breathtaking natural
beauty. Rolling meadows and broad village greens contrast
with high fells and open moorland quietly grazed by the hardiest
of sheep. Small villages and tiny hamlets shelter in the broad
valley and side dales of the river Ure with its stunning waterfalls.
Isolated field barns and dry stone walls stretching high
onto the fells contribute to a distinctive landscape which
has captivated many famous artists - and millions of television
viewers. But in spite of the fame afforded to Askrigg and
other villages by "All Creatures Great and Small', you
will find Upper Wensleydale uncrowded and unhurried, offering
the warmest of welcomes, good food and comfort wherever you
choose to rest your head.
There is a vast choice of accommodation to suit every taste
and every pocket whatever time of year you visit. From cosy
B&Bs to luxurious country house hotels, from well serviced
camping and caravan sites to beautifully appointed holiday
cottages, you can find your ideal holiday venue in Upper Wensleydale.

and Tourism Association web
site.
