Yorkshire Dales villages are some of the most idyllic and tranquil places to visit in the UK, the Dales is an untouched place that has the feeling of stepping back in time with its stone walls, rolling hills and traditional pubs and the village of Reeth is a perfect example.
Found near Richmond, Reeth is often referred to as the most peaceful place in the UK – with a population of 700 and its location surrounded by hills in the national park. It’s no surprise that it has garnered that reputation.
The village of Reeth is centred around a charming village green and is one of the Yorkshire Dales destinations we eagerly anticipate visiting. The Black Bull Inn, which dates back to 1680, long before the arrival of lead miners, originally catered to travellers and farmers and continues to operate today. The Buck Hotel, once a coaching inn, has been welcoming guests since 1780.
It’s a simple place to destress with its walking and birdwatching trails. Reeth has a range of hiking trails on its doorstep, and three bird-watching trails.
Close by, it also has a range of spectacular sights such as the iconic Buttertub Pass, Tan Hill the highest pub in Britain and Ravenseat Farm, which is home to the popular show Our Yorkshire Farm.
In the village are three pubs, which are perfect to visit after you’ve had a day out on one of its many trails that sit on its doorstep. Having stayed in the village, we can vouch for its peacefulness. It’s a great place to get away and enjoy a slower pace of life.
There is a lovely bakery, the Two Dales Bakery that serves up fresh sourdough loaves, tasty pastries and fresh coffee that we visit every morning without fail.
