Ordered Wensleydale Longwool DK for a Gansey pattern designed by Martin Storey. Fabulous lady Kath organised everything so meticulously in spite of her busy schedule of shop plus many trade show commitments. Wool, 1kg of fabulous 'Fennel' colour plus other Wensleydale products such as soap, wool wash, lanolin cream etc arrived beautifully and efficiently packaged for the courier delivery. Kath deserves top star rating and a massive thank you. I recommend looking at her wool for any future knitting projects and supporting this wonderful product which also supports the rare breed sheep of Yorkshire. Buy British Wool and support these lovely sheep, from The Northern Isles south together with their guardians for the future.

We stumbled across Inspired Chocolate whilst in Leyburn and what a hidden gem it was - a must visit for any chocolate lovers! We were welcomed by an enthusiastic member of staff who later explained this small scale chocolate factory was owned by her husband and her. The entire process was visible to public and through glass walls with boards explaining the process, and a clear COVID-19 friendly environment. There was a number of affordable workshops from chocloate pizza making for the children to truffle making for adults. The shop offered plenty of gifts, local produce and it goes without saying plenty of chocolate varieties, i recommend the Lemon Meringue and White Chocolate and if you like Caramacs the Caramel White Chocolate is amazing - ask for a sample.

Fox and Hounds Inn

Reviewed By KarenEastSussex

We visit the Dales several times a year and never fail to have Sunday lunch at the Fox & Hounds. Landlady Nola and her excellent team serve the most delicious roast beef with all the trimmings and a jug - no poncey gravy boat - of proper gravy. Despite Covid-19 regulations the Fox and Hounds retains its relaxed, welcoming feel. Thoroughly recommended.

St Matthew's Leyburn

Reviewed By MarjorieB939 - Leeds, United Kingdom

I visited this lovely, friendly Church for the first time on my own after having attended with my daughter and friend for both the Christingle Service and Carols by Candlelight Service over Christmas. I have just moved to the area recently and loved the warm, friendly welcome. It's the sort of place that makes you feel at home right away and among friends! There are exciting plans ahead to develop the existing space and make it more accessible for the community! Looking forward to being part of the Church family in the future!
