West Witton, a charming and historic Wensleydale village, is located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, halfway between Leyburn and Hawes. West Witton is a classic ancient community made up of stone-built farmhouses and cottages that enjoys stunning views of Bolton Castle, Penhill and its limestone scars, lush, rolling landscape, and the nearby fells. The village contains two pubs, one of which has been recognised as England’s greatest seafood pub by the Wensleydale Heifer 2006/07 AA, as well as a well-stocked village store and a lovely green. The impressive ruins of Castle Bolton can be found across the valley from the village, and nearby towns like Middleham, Leyburn, and Aysgarth Falls are all only a short drive away. Middleham is home to a famous racing stable, a Norman castle, and a charming old market square surrounded by delightful shops, pubs, and restaurants. a great starting point for a walking vacation, for exploring Wensleydale, the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors, or the Lake District.
