Sedbergh, pronounced as Sed-Ber amongst the locals, is an ancient market town situated in northern Dentdale, just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town itself, with its narrow streets, little shops and traditional pubs also boasts a famous school dating back to 1536 and an impressive 12th Century church with an old-world atmosphere. Dentdale is often referred to as being ‘the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales’ and boasts rolling hills and dry stone walls. The windswept moors below Whernside is where the rivers Dee and Rawthey converge, whilst at the centre, the town of Dent offers cobbled streets which have existed since Norman times. There are three golf courses in the vicinity, as well as numerous facilities for tennis, riding, and fishing. With so much impressive, rugged scenery, the area is a paradise for walkers and cyclists alike. In addition, there are two National Parks nearby, making this an ideal year-round holiday destination.
