Gunnerside
Reeth Swaledale
A stone village beside Gunnerside Beck with strong links to Swaledale’s lead-mining past and footpaths climbing directly into Gunnerside Gill.
Why go?
It is one of the most useful places for seeing the valley’s industrial history in the landscape rather than only in a museum.
