Hawes is a small market town and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England, that was granted its market charter in 1699. Historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, Hawes is located at the head of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales, the River Ure runs to the north of the town and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The parish of Hawes also includes the neighbouring hamlet of Gayle. It is 31.2 miles (50.2 km) west of the county town of Northallerton. The Wensleydale Creamery is a major producer of Wensleydale cheese.
The village once had a railway station that was the terminus of the Hawes branch of the Midland Railway and an end-on terminus of the line from Northallerton from its opening in 1878 to its closure in April 1954. British Railways kept the line to Garsdale Junction open for passengers until 1959. The Wensleydale Railway Association has plans to rebuild the railway from Northallerton (from its current western terminus at Redmire) to Garsdale including re-opening the station in the village.
The parish of Hawes covers the large areas of moorland on Dodd Fell, Snays Fell, Stags Fell and Widdale Fell and includes the River Ure tributaries of Widdale Beck and Gayle Beck. The latter flows through the town of Hawes. There are many abandoned lead mines, quarries and limekilns in the parish indicating its industrial past. A short distance form the town on Gayle Beck are the Aysgill Force waterfalls. The highest point in the parish is Great Knoutberry Hill at 2,205 feet (672 m). The parish extends as far north as Hellgill Bridge along a narrow strip either side of the Ure.
The civil parish of Hawes also includes the neighbouring hamlets of Gayle, Appersett and Burtersett. The A684 road from Sedbergh to Osmotherley passes through the town and the B6255 begins at the western edge of the town and links it to Ingleton.
The main attraction is the Wensleydale Creamery Centre which was established by former workers of the original Hawes Dairy in 1992. It produces the eponymous cheese to traditional recipes following those first done by French monks in the 12th century. The centre has won many prestigious cheese awards, including Supreme Champion for its Wensleydale Blue in 2012. The cheeses produced by the Creamery are undergoing the final stages of an application for Protected Food Name Status.
Other local tourist attractions include the Dales Countryside Museum, based in the old Hawes railway station of the Wensleydale Railway, nearby Hardraw Force waterfall, and the Buttertubs Pass which links Wensleydale to Swaledale. Hawes has a regular market, as well as many shops, pubs and tearooms. Hawes is a centre for walking (hiking) the countryside and the Pennine Way passes through here. There is a youth hostel located on Lancaster Terrace at the western end of the town.

ENGLAND Yorkshire Dales (James Herriot country)
The Dales became very famous because of the James Herriot books and TV-series. Most TV-locations were in villages in the Dales (e.g. Reeth and Langthwaite). Million of books are sold and the TV-series were shown in many countries. Surely a destination for one of your next holidays, but I can not guarantee dry weather

Langstrothdale, Wharfedale, Yorkshire Dales
Beyond Upper Wharfedale lies Langstrothdale - an 11 mile continuation of the dale where the actual river Wharfe comes into being. The infant Wharfe starts at the confluence of Greenside and Oughtershaw Becks at Beckermonds. These streams rise on the watershed with Ribblesdale and in sight of Ingleborough. This is where the highest road in the Yorkshire Dales passes over the 1,934ft high pass of Fleet Moss. The road follows the becks and passes through the hamlets of Deepdale, Oughtershaw, Yockenthwaite and ends at Hubberholme, where the side valley turns to join Wharfedale proper. It is wild bleak place, but with much to interest visitors including a stone circle and the church at Hubberholme. This is part of a longer film on Wharfedale - watch the next part: Upper Wharfedale.

Somewhere Over Yorkshire Dales National Park / Algures No Parque Nacional Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a 2,178 km2 (841 sq mi) national park in England covering most of the Yorkshire Dales. The majority of the park is in North Yorkshire, with a sizeable area in Cumbria and a small part in Lancashire. The park was designated in 1954, and was extended in 2016. Over 20,000 residents live and work in the park, which attracts over eight million visitors every year.
Location
The park is 50 miles (80 km) north-east of Manchester; Otley, Ilkley, Leeds and Bradford lie to the south, while Kendal is to the west, Darlington to the north-east and Harrogate to the south-east.The national park does not include all of the Yorkshire Dales. Parts of the dales to the south and east of the national park are located in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The national park also includes the Howgill Fells and Orton Fells in the north west although they are not often considered part of the dales.
History
In 1947, the Hobhouse Report recommended the creation of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the then West Riding and North Riding of Yorkshire. The proposed National Park included most of the Yorkshire Dales, but not Nidderdale. Accordingly, Nidderdale was not included in the National Park when it was designated in 1954. In 1963 the then West Riding County Council proposed that Nidderdale should be added to the National Park, but the proposal met with opposition from the district councils which would have lost some of their powers to the county council.
Following the Local Government Act 1972 most of the area of the national park was transferred in 1974 to the new county of North Yorkshire. An area in the north west of the national park (Dentdale, Garsdale and the town of Sedbergh) was transferred from the West Riding of Yorkshire to the new county of Cumbria. In 1997 management of the national park passed from the county councils to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.
2016 extension
A westward extension of the park into Lancashire and Cumbria encompasses much of the area between the old boundaries of the park and the M6 motorway. This increases the area by nearly 24% and brings the park close to the towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Kirkby Stephen and Appleby-in-Westmorland. The extension also includes the northern portion of the Howgill Fells and most of the Orton Fells. Prior to the expansion, the national park was solely in the historic county of Yorkshire, the expansion bringing in parts of historic Lancashire and Westmorland.
Tourism
The area has a wide range of activities for visitors. For example, many people come to the Dales for walking or other exercise. Several long-distance routes cross the park, including the Pennine Way, the Dales Way, the Coast to Coast Walk and the Pennine Bridleway. Cycling is also popular and there are several cycleways.
The Dales Countryside Museum is housed in the converted Hawes railway station in Wensleydale in the north of the area. The park also has five visitor centres. These are at:
Aysgarth Falls
Grassington
Hawes
Malham
Reeth
Other places and sights within the National Park include:
Bolton Castle
Clapham
Cautley Spout waterfall
Firbank Fell
Gaping Gill

Hardraw Force
Horton in Ribblesdale
Howgill Fells

English lesson: a trip round The Yorkshire Dales
This is a MUFFINS English School video suitable for pre-intermediate and intermediate English students.
Here is the full text of this presentation:
It's fair to say that most tourists who visit Britain for the first time -- head for London.
In my opinion, a better way to see a wonderful piece of England is to take a holiday in the Yorkshire Dales -- sometimes simply known as The Dales.
The Dales is a very big national park made up of river valleys and hills in North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Cumbria.
So where does the word Dale originate. It comes from the Nordic-Germanic word for valley -- dal or tal.
A good place to start your tour is Skipton -- the gateway to the Dales in West Yorkshire. Skipton is a market town -- and it has a castle which was built by a Norman baron in 1090. In the 12th century, the castle was made stronger to protect it against attacks from Scotland.
Skipton became a rich little town trading in sheep and wool.
So what is so special about the Yorkshire Dales countryside? Well, its green pastures are separated by old dry-stone walls. There is no cement, just stones carefully placed together. In the pastures (or fields) you can see sheep and cattle lazily grazing -- eating grass and enjoying the peace and tranquility.
The dales are U and V-shaped valleys -- made bigger by ice age glaciers. Most of the Dales rock is Limestone but there is also shale and sandstone and Millstone grit.
On the higher ground there is a lot of heather moorland.
Most visitors to The Dales are sightseers. They either drive around the countryside -- or walk around. There are many hiking nature trails and a lot of wildlife to see. There are castles and other historic sites and many little stone cottages and pubs where you can stay the night.
The Dales has its own museum and steam railway.
And for the adventurous, there are long-distance routes including the famous coast-to-coast path. There are also several cycle paths.
We can't leave the Dales without mentioning Caves. White Scar Caves is a network of caves under the village of Ingleborough. It includes Battlesfield which is the largest cave chamber in Britain -- 90 metres long. It is open to visitors as a show cave with a shop and café where you can have a cup of English tea.
