The historic market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber) is located in northern Dentdale at the base of the majestic and untamed Howgill Fells. Only 12 miles separate Sedbergh from the Lake District National Park, which is located immediately inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town has an old world feel to it with its small shops, historic bars, famous school from 1525, and church from the 12th century. Dentdale, which extends 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the junction of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey, is the crown jewel of the Yorkshire Dales and is accessible from Sedbergh. It features rolling hills and dry stone walls. Dent, with its historic cobblestone streets and Norman origins at the heart of the valley, is served by the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. The neighbourhood is a haven for walkers, ramblers, runners, and bikers because there are three golf courses nearby as well as tennis, riding, and fishing. This, along with the serenity of the nearby valleys, the two National Parks, and the fact that it is England’s book town, make it a perfect year-round tourist spot.
