- Walking: Located on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales and stone’s throw from the Lake District, you have an abundance of trails to explore the local landscape. Whether you need miles without stiles or marathon length walks, you can enjoy whatever suits you and curl up by a roaring fire in a local pub once you’re done
- Wildlife watching: When the crowds disperse and the colours change, not everything goes into hibernation. With the Yorkshire Dales on the doorstep and RSPB Leighton Moss only a short drive away, it’s easy to head to a local nature reserve and spot some local wildlife.
- Shopping: We like to think of this more as supporting local businesses but High Bentham is surrounded by lovely market towns, including Settle and Kirby Lonsdale. With mostly independent stores offering an eclectic mix of gifts and life’s essentials, you will be sure to find something to take home for family, friends or the house sitter!
- History & Heritage: Within easy access of High Bentham, there is an abundance of local history. Whether it’s the folklore tales of how Big Stone landed in Burnmoor above High Bentham or tales of torture in Skipton Castle, Autumn is a great time to explore historic castles, local museums or church remains
