| Prehistoric earthworks can be found
in Wensleydale, and artefacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages can be
seen in the Dales Countryside Museum, Hawes. The Romans built here
and village names reflect the presence of Anglian and Norse. |

The pretty market town of Hawes is situated
on the river Ure, and is home to the famous Wensleydale Cheese Creamery,
made famous by the Wallace & Gromit films. Cheese making
in this area was thought to have been started by French monks who
eventually settled in Lower Wensleydale in 1145. |
| Wensleydale
offers so much for the visitor today with lots to do and see. The
scenery ranges from wild, rugged moorland to lush, meadows and waterfalls.
Numerous outdoor activities keep the visitors happy as well as craft
shops and visitor centres. |
