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.
