Things to do in and around Dentdale & Sedbergh

​Nestling between the Pennines to the east and the Howgill fells to the west is Dentdale, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Dentdale has its own brewery and is notable for having the highest train station in the country (actually in Cowgill, 4 miles from Dent village!), one of the stops on the famous Settle-Carlisle railway.

The village of Dent is steeped in history, from its cobbled streets to its twelfth century church with altar flagstones made from lustrous black Dent marble.  It was home to geologist Adam Sedgwick who is said to have discovered the Dent Fault. At Cambridge University he field-trained Charles Darwin in the fundamentals of geology prior to Darwin's legendary expedition of discovery on his ship HMS Beagle.
