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.

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.

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.

Westwood Books has over 75,000 secondhand, antiquarian and new books. Also stocked are gifts, cards, CD's and jigsaws.
I always enjoy dropping into Westwood books when I'm in the area - it's a perfect independant bookshop with a great selection of books

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.
The staff are so warm and welcoming - they were full of useful information and lots and lots of choice in terms of maps etc to help you decide what to do on your trip
