🚧 Roadworks alert 🚧
For those of you staying in Outhgill over the school summer holidays- watch out for the road closure further up Mallerstang valley.
Unfortunately it does mean a bit of a diversion if you want to go in the Hawes direction- see map- we’d recommend the scenic ‘Tommy Road’ past Pendragon Castle that takes you over to the Sedburgh road ( near ‘Wharton Fell’ type on this map) Look out for wild ponies 👀 🐴 and great views
A challenge for cyclists 🚴💪💪
Or take the 🚙 for the easier option, great views however you chose to travel!
Buttertubs Pass
1. A high road crossing the moorland between Wensleydale and Swaledale 🌄
2. A place farmers would lower butter in, so as to to keep it cool while en-route to market 🧈
3. One of the world's best cycling routes 🚲

How about a walk to explore The Eden Benchmarks - a series of ten site-specific, carved stone sculptures.
The sculptures are located on public paths along the River Eden from its source at Mallerstang to where it joins the sea at Rockcliffe, just north of Carlisle. The first sculpture in the series ‘Water Cut’ is located a few miles from the source of the river Eden, high up on the eastern side of the Mallerstang valley.
