A Wonderful Wensleydale Break in Worton: Worton is a tiny hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire and is surrounded by the outstanding natural beauty of this national park. It’s a wonderful place for families or couples wishing to discover the countryside, attractions and local produce of Wensleydale to enjoy a cottage stay. To get up close to the scenery, walking, riding or cycling is the best way. For super fit visitors, the famous Three Peaks walk is challenging. Less than a mile away is the lovely village of Bainbridge, with a playground on the village green and old village stocks. Nearby, Lake Semerwater attracts birdwatchers, anglers, sailors, canoeists and windsurfers, or you can relax and have a picnic. This glacial lake is the second largest lake in Yorkshire. Also close to Worton is the village of Askrigg, a charming location with cobbled streets, pretty local walks and local waterfalls. If Askrigg looks familiar, it may be because scenes from the TV series, 'All Creatures Great and Small' were filmed there.
