Keld
Reeth Swaledale
A tiny village at the head of Swaledale where the Coast to Coast, Pennine Way and Herriot Way meet amid waterfalls, meadows and moorland.
Why go?
Keld makes the dale feel remote and self-contained, and it is a strong base for waterfalls, long-distance walking and routes toward Tan Hill.
