Thorp Perrow Revisited
This was only the second time I have been to Thorp Perrow, the first was in 2011. This visit was in the third week in October so not all the trees had changed to their Autumn colours but it was still a beautiful place to walk around.
During the 13th century Thorp Perrow house was owned by Helewise de Perrow who was an early landowner but the Arboretum was originally created by Colonel Sir Leonard Ropner in 1931 and is one of the finest private collections of trees and shrubs in the country.
Colonel Sir Leonard Ropner died in 1977 and the 100 acre Arboretum is now owned and managed by Sir John Ropner and was opened to the public in 1980.

Bedale is a market town and civil parish in the district of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated 34 miles (55 km) north of Leeds, 26 miles (42 km) south-west of Middlesbrough and 7 miles (11 km) south-west of the county town of Northallerton. It was originally in Richmondshire and listed in the Domesday Book as part of Catterick wapentake, which was also known as Hangshire (so named from Hang Bank in Finghall and because of the many gallows used to execute marauding Scots); it was split again and Bedale remained in East Hang. Bedale Beck is a tributary of the River Swale, which forms one of the Yorkshire Dales, with its predominance of agriculture and its related small traditional trades, although tourism is increasingly important.
Before the Harrying of the North Bedale was held by Torpin (Thorfinn), a patronym retained by the infamous Dick Turpin. The parish church also dates from this time (as evidenced by its crypt), before significant remodelling. The original 9th century church escaped destruction in the Harrying of the North and was recorded in the Domesday Book. The recent discovery of the Bedale Hoard provides further evidence of high-status Anglo-Saxon and Viking age activity in the area. The town was recorded as Bedell or Bedhal and derives from 'Beda's Halh' which means the corner or place of Beda.
Bedale lies on the B6285 road that runs south and south east from Bedale and connects with the A6055 road at Burneston. The A684 road used to go through the town but a bypass was opened in August 2016 that means through traffic now avoids Leeming Bar, Aiskew and Bedale. The town is only 2 miles (3.2 km) west of the A1(M) at Leeming Bar via the A684 road or via the adjoining village of Aiskew.
Bedale has a railway station on the Wensleydale heritage railway. The station originally opened in 1855 and lasted almost a century before British Rail closed the station in April 1954. The station is actually in Aiskew as the traditional boundary between the two villages was Bedale Beck which the station lies east of. Work was initiated on making Bedale Beck navigable to barges down to the River Swale at Gatenby. Initial construction started in 1768 which resulted in an area at the south end of the town known as 'The Harbour'. The plan was abandoned in 1855 when the railway was opened, but the weir and some iron moorings still exist on the beck just south of the Bedale to Aiskew road bridge.
Existing historic buildings include a unique 18th-century Leech House used as an apothecary's store for leeches, an underground ice house used for preserving food and the 14th-century Grade I listed market cross. Bedale is home to a small museum, numerous Georgian buildings and a railway station on the Wensleydale Railway, which runs to Redmire via Leyburn. The Thorp Perrow Arboretum lies nearby, as do the villages of Burneston, Burrill, Cowling, Exelby and Firby.
The town has many local shops, a Co-op Food supermarket, a Tesco Express shop, pubs and eating places along its market place. It holds a market every Tuesday on the cobbles that line the market place, and there used to be a monthly market on a Sunday, but this ceased after the bypass opened and through traffic was moved away from the town. It also has a leisure centre with full gym, swimming pool and astroturf sports pitches. Bedale Athletic Sports Association provides football, cricket, hockey, squash and tennis. Big Sheep Little Cow Farm is a petting zoo adjacent to the local railway line and Bedale Beck.
Bedale Golf Club is on the northern edge of the town where the B6285 meets the A684 road to Leyburn. Bedale also has a brass band with a 25-year history of providing musical education and entertainment for the local community.

The Leeds Liverpool canal took 45 years to build the 127 mile long canal when it was fully opened in 1816. Mike Clarke of the Leeds Liverpool Canal Society walks along a small section from the canal wharf at Shipley to the Five Rise Locks at Bingley. He gives a history of the canal and looks at some of the engineering feats along this section including the the aqueduct over the river Aire at Dowley Gap.
