Quiet an easy walk, lovely views and well worth it to see the ‘Spout’. Dog friendly. Parking however can be an issue if lots of people are visiting at the same time.

I've stayed in Dent twice this year as two short Breaks really relaxing. There are plenty self catering accommodation and two Inns plus b&bs. Dent set in the Deepdale valley is stunning with a Church and Cobbled Main Street at it's centre. There are two Pubs serving good Pub Grub. The George and Dragon serves Dent Brewery beers which are some of the best beer I've tasted in years, it a must. Dent is a hidden Gem. And the locals are great too.

I am a Quaker, so visiting here was extra special. It exudes the goodness and power of centuries of worship. That power, of its simplicity, takes your breath away. It’s a time capsule of serenity. To walk to Meeting, from Sedbergh, which I shall do next year, is easy. What a wonderful visit.
6. Farfield Mill

4.5 based on 224 reviews
Set in the shadow of the glorious Howgills near Sedbergh and restored from a Victorian woollen mill, Farfield Mill provides an excellent visit for arts and heritage enthusiasts alike. Take your time to discover a programme of top-quality exhibitions; a unique range of fine art and crafts created by resident and visiting artists; fascinating displays telling the history of the Mill; Weaving demonstrations from our farfield friends of hand weaving on Mondays and Wednesdays; rugs or throws produced on the mill’s own looms… plus The Tea Room for delicious food.

Came upon this place while travelling from the Yorkshire Dales to Lake District, just outside Sedbergh. Had no idea what to expect. The Mill was warm - dreadful weather oustide - and the staff were welcoming. Excellent display of arts and crafts as you go in, all different types from ceramics to weaving, all that we saw was local to the North-West. Bright and airy. There were a couple of artists/crafters 'in residence' which added to the atmosphere. The cafe was in a well restored room, had freshly made sandwiches and scones. The only criticism was the lack of clotted cream (seems a common issue in Yorkshire to me? - Sedbergh used to be in Yorks). My wife came away with a couple of felting kits and could have bought more. Will be going back.

The Craftworkshop is a co-operative venture set in the heart of Sedbergh. It is a place to meet, make, share and sell crafts. Come and visit us and you will see a wide variety of crafts, most of them made locally, all of them handmade by members of, or suppliers to, our co-operative. We are a not-for-profit organisation, but we do sell our crafts in order to cover our costs.

This is a lovely shop, a real treasure trove of beautiful handcrafted items. I felt completely spoilt for choice in here, and it's lovely that everything is from the local community. The quality and range is astounding. I eventually chose a beautiful yew wood bowl as a gift for my husband and he loves it! The lady looking after the shop was very friendly too. We'll definitely be back!

An excellent independent shop with a personal touch. Good range of gear from jackets & jumpers to waterproofs & wellies. Stocks a good range of boots including EKU at amazing prices ... at least 25% lower than normal retail. Great KEELA waterproofs. Lovely range of socks. OS maps and Sedbergh soap too! My most recent purchase was a Head torch which I’ve used many times in the last 3 weeks. I’m a very happy repeat customer.

A lovely warm welcome from all the staff, who couldn't do enough for our group (4 adults and 5 children) and handled the extra challenges brought about by Covid 19 with aplomb. Our drinks, cakes and scones were all delicious and just what was needed for afternoon tea after a long walk along the river and through the fields into Dent from our holiday cottage. The museum and model railway downstairs were an extra treat.
