Sedbergh, The Howgills and The Yorkshire Dales
Discover Sedbergh, a charming historic market town nestled in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Perfect for walkers, cyclists, and adventurers, it’s your gateway to stunning landscapes, tranquil trails, and breathtaking views.
1. Sedbergh: A Historic Market Town in the Yorkshire Dales
The old market town of Sedbergh is situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For centuries, the town has served the social and commercial needs of Dales farming communities, but now Sedbergh has become something of a visitor hub.
2. A Hub for Walkers and Cyclists
Sedbergh is a real magnet for walkers. The Dales Way meanders along the banks of the Dee, the Rawthey, and the Lune, passing within half a mile of the town. There are also many other long-distance walking and cycling itineraries that use Sedbergh as an overnight stop.
3. Adventurous Walks and Stunning Views
For the more adventurous walker, the top of Winder provides access to the rest of the Howgills to the North and offers magnificent views of Morecambe Bay, the Lakeland Fells, and the Three Peaks. (For a full view of all three Peaks, a short climb halfway up Brant Fell is required.)
