Nestled in peaceful Swaledale, Gunnerside is a classic Yorkshire Dales village. The King's Head, a community-owned, Grade II-listed pub, sits at its heart and serves good food and local ale. The surrounding moors make for interesting hill walks, with many remnants of the region's lead mining industry to discover and wide-ranging views to enjoy.

Forefield Rake is a strange, odd, desolate land, a line of old mine workings. There is a cairn up here: from next to it, you should be able to make out Great Shunner Fell on the horizon to the west. Great Pinseat (583m), a few minutes' walk to the north, is not on the path here, but most will be able to easily get to it.

This is a picturesque, multi-arched stone bridge over the River Swale. It offers very pleasant views of the hamlet of Isles' cottages to the north and towards Brownsey Moor, rising directly above it. Of course, the River Swale is also peaceful and beautiful to look at.
