July 21, 2026, Swaledale Sheep Bench

Eyecatching carving of a Swaledale sheep's head on the side of this bench. The Yorkshire Dales National Park has a number of volunteer carvers where skilled woodworkers produce carved posts, benches, trail markers and other wildlife‑themed sculptures. This is likely by David Grosvenor, who has carved multiple pieces for Freeholders’ Wood, Aysgarth Falls, and the surrounding paths.

Formerly the Bolton Arms. Good food and a decent selection of ales. It has a nice little beer garden at the rear.

This pretty wooden footbridge spans the Apedale Beck stream and is surrounded by stunning foliage, especially lovely in the autumn when the leaves change colour.

Lovely castle with a hard little climb alongside up into the village

The beacon was put here by the Carperby and Thoresby Parish Council for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee (2022). They picked the right place, too, as you will see from up here all the way to Bolton Castle and the views over Wensleydale to the south are not negligible, either!
