Hawes
The "little capital" of Upper Wensleydale is Hawes, Yorkshire's highest market town and farming community which lies in the path of the Pennine Way.
Not only is it famous for its chocolate-box, picture postcard appeal, but also as the home of some of the most delicious cheeses to be made in Britain and the ancient art of rope making, a craft which has been passed down from generation to generation and still draws visitors from all over the world. On market day, Tuesday, the town has a carnival atmosphere, when the whole community converges to visit the local auction mart and stock up with provisions at the indoor and outdoor markets. There are a number of art galleries in the town worth a look and the national park centre is situated just outside the town centre.
