The Yorkshire Dales

|
Situated in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Jane Ann's Cottage, originally a tied farm worker's cottage, belongs to the tiny hamlet of Simonstone, which consists of Simonstone Hall and eight other dwellings of various sizes. Simonstone nestles on the South-facing slope of Wensleydale, with absolutely superb views, overlooking Hawes, some two miles away, and is situated on the Hawes to Muker road leading over the Buttertubs Pass. Simonstone is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an are of outstanding natural beauty, and ideal for exploration by walking or by car. Only half a mile from the cottage as the crow flies is Hardrow Scaur, the highest waterfall in England at 100ft, where Kevin Costner took his shower in the film Robin Hood. The area abounds with places of interest: historic Market Towns, Aysgarth Force, Castle Bolton, folk museums and the Settle - Carlisle railway to name but a few. This really is the heart of Herriot Country, and where the filming for the series was done. |
