Hawes

Hawes, in Upper Wensleydale, popular in summer with walkers and visitors driving through the Dales, almost the main centre in the Dales themselves. It's still a market town, the market is on Tuesdays, with local manufacturing companies producing traditional cheese and carrying on the local ropemaking tradition. There is a National Park Visitor Centre here, which can help with walks and information.
