Swaledale; a truly well kept secret - somewhere in the middle of a great expanse
of open Dales, right at the top of North Yorkshire. So far north in fact you're
just a few miles off from the borders of County Durham & Cumbria.
Muker is placed just a mile off the Pennine Way; the backbone of Britain. Right
in the middle of Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk
