Reeth
Reeth Swaledale
A Dales village built around a broad green at the meeting point of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, with pubs, cafés, galleries and walking routes close at hand.
Why go?
Reeth works both as a destination and as a base: spend time around the green, then use the village as the starting point for riverside walks, lead-mining landscapes and trips farther up Swaledale.
