If you’re looking to eat your way around the Wenningdale region then we’ve got some fantastic places to send you to.
Hop on the A65 and head towards Kirkby Lonsdale to enjoy locally made ice cream from the Milking Parlour, coming straight from the cow to your cone. Made by local farmers, the food miles on this delectable dessert couldn’t be shorter!
Whilst you’re there, pop into Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery‘s watering hole, the Royal Barn to enjoy a sample of this local brew. Since its beginning in 2009, this family run brewery has developed 33 different beers and a tap house in which to enjoy these brews!
Head to Hawes for a cheesey education. With a spectacular backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales, The Wensleydale Creamery is a great destination for cheese lovers and families alike. They have a visitor centre offering an interactive family day out plus their cheese shop and on-site café. The creamery is only a 35minute drive (approx.) from our Park and takes you past the Ribblehead Viaduct and above our stunning scenery. This award winning cheese is only made in Wensleydale so why not go and try it from the source.
If cheese is your thing then we would certainly recommend hopping back on the A65 in the other direction towards Settle. The Courtyard Dairy is a family enterprise and they’ve worked incredibly hard to create this fantastic shop, supporting small scale and independent cheese producers. To make it event better, they also have Buon Vino next door so you can host your own cheese and wine night back at your accommodation.
A short trip away (by car, train or bus!) is our postal town of Lancaster and its very own Brewery; Lancaster Brewery. We’re lucky to have this on our doorstep as it’s one of the largest micro-breweries in the North West. If you’d like to find out more about the day to day life of the brewery then why not enjoy a tour through the brewing process and enjoy a taste of the produce after wards?
Located over t’hill in the Forest of Bowland, Holmes Mill is a multi use venue with an array of exciting things on offer including a BEER HALL! Yes, this is Bowland Breweries main beer tasting parlour offering a place to sample ale, enjoy a bite to eat and the occasional live music. If you don’t mind travelling a little further then this is a trip well worthwhile.
We’re also always looking for new suggestions so please let us now if you’ve tried somewhere different and think we should include it!
