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; weekday demonstrations of weaving, rag-rugging or lace-making; rugs and throws produced on the mill’s own looms… plus Weavers Café for delicious food, including Farfield-made cakes, scones and daily specials and traditional Sunday Lunch (12-3).

Had a look round today as saw the textile exhibition on the local news. Live locally but haven’t been before. Would recommend and visit again so will keep a eye out for more events. Lovely polite and welcoming staff.

1st time visitor & i was so impressed by the friendliness of this quaint Yorkshire village. The cobbled streets add an air of magic, especially with all the Christmas lights twinkling when we were there. The residents ( those that are left) keep the village smart & tidy definitely have pride in where they are fortunate enough to live. This is a hidden gem

Took the husband for a drive out and lunch, having passed it previously when out walking. It was a delight! With only six tables in this café/newsagents/deli/grocers, they soon filled up. We ordered the ploughman's and an antipasti plate. Both were prepared freshly, were delicious and good value. They were accompanied by homemade buns which were warm and fresh. My only gripe would be the coffee. I ordered a latte with two shots and I did not like it - no depth of flavour and bitter. I think they should revert back to Atkinson's. Would love to visit again.
4. Ruskin's View

Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom
Accessed from the church yard, Ruskin's View is named after the famous art critic John Ruskin, who declared it to be one of the loveliest views in England. He clearly wasn't alone in appreciating this lovely bend in the river, because the view was also painted by Turner.
A short walk from the church, and a lovely spot for a bit of quiet reflection.
5. Brigflatts Meeting House

Oldest surviving Quaker Meeting House in the district closely knit with founder George Fox. No visitor attraction facilities but very interesting to look around with a friendly, informative warden on duty. Recommend a visit. Young children may get bored quickly though.
6. Dent Village Museum and Heritage Centre

4.5 based on 53 reviews
Reviewed By LadyGail62 - Worthing, United Kingdom
We were staying in Dent and decided that we would visit the Heritage Centre. It is small and compact. There is a downstairs area with a model train although when we visited, it was awaiting refurbishment after a flood. It is fascinating to find out about the life and industries of this small village. There are a couple of tableau rooms which set out many of the artefacts in context. The people who run the museum are very welcoming and answered questions as best they could. The till also offers snacks and drinks - most welcome on a hot day. I use the word a lot in my reviews but this is a real gem and although it won't take you long to do the tour, it is worth going.

Don't go thinking you'll just wander it. It is a challenge and you'll need to make sure you have the correct resources. Go with a friend or group and watch the weather and light.
8. Cautley Spout Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Reviewed By Ingleborough1359 - Wakefield, United Kingdom
Cautley Spout is one of several features in this outstanding area known as the Howgills. Nestled between The Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, the Howgills are often neglect in favour of the Dales or Lakes. Consequently, the Howgills are rarely congested with walkers or tourists and they are a pleasure to visit.
Parking is sometimes a problem though it's possible to park near the Cross Keys Hotel (which does good food), and Cautley Spout is only a steady half hour stroll away.
9. Sedbergh Information & Book Centre
Overall Ratings
5 based on 14 reviews
Open almost every day, the Information and Book Centre welcomes visitors to Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales. We have detailed local knowledge and a wide range of maps, walk books and information about attractions. We also have some gifts for sale, many with a Sedbergh theme, and half of our space is given over to second-hand books from a range of dealers, as befits Sedbergh's Book Town status.
Reviewed By William Raleigh P - United Kingdom
This is a very useful place to visit in order to plan your time in and around Sedbergh. The Centre has copious leaflets of local attractions and extremely helpful staff to help you plan your day. It is well-placed in Sedbergh and is large enough to house their stock of information sheets. Staffed by volunteers, they are a credit to the area: thank you for your help and long may you keep going!

Lifestyle Store & Tea Room selling soft furnishings, jewellery, lighting leather, candles, rugs, picture frames and all things nice!!! Great Cup Cakes, Tea Cake's, Coffee & Tea to enjoy while you browse or to take away!

Since opening, No.6 has been my go-to place for gifts of all types: wedding, christening and birthday gifts and gorgeous new home gift ideas. Every time I visit, I always purchase something special for myself too!
I would definitely recommend a visit at Christmas time! The decorations are beautiful, and I believe it to be very difficult to source anything of similar quality elsewhere; it's a given that my shelves are pretty much full of the products upstairs at No.6!
