Cragg Vale is a picturesque Pennine hamlet located on the longest incline in England on the steep and twisting Cragg Road. Cyclists relish the challenge of riding this difficult route up to beautiful heather filled moorland, 1000 feet above sea level. The village of Luddenden and the wonderful oak woodlands of Jerusalem Farm lie on the other side of the valley, and the town of Hebden Bridge with its bars, restaurants, bistros, markets, art galleries and cinema is also close by. The Parsonage Museum, that pays tribute to the Bronte sisters, The Worth Valley Railway Station, and Skipton (aka the “Gateway to the Dales) are all a scenic drive away. This is a great location for discovering all that the Yorkshire Dales have to offer.
Situated in the lower reaches of the pretty Wensleydale region alongside the River Ure is the historic little market town of Masham.

The town itself provides a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known as the home to the Black Sheep Brewery – a company which makes over eleven million pints of beer every year. Through the idyllic surrounding scenery, visitors can enjoy a variety of walks along the Ure or across the hills and visit the popular towns of Ripon and Harrogate – both of which are just a short drive away.
