About Smardale

Limestone outcrops and the quiet, persistent rush of water define the character of Smardale as it holds its place in the northern landscape. It lies 2.2 miles west-south-west of Kirkby Stephen (from Kirkby Stephen: bearing 259°T, OS grid NY 740 081), and is situated south-east of Crosby Garrett village. The horizon here is dominated by the expansive, open skies of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which embraces the land in a wide, indifferent arc. Travellers often pause to look upon the Smardale Railway Viaduct, where the weathered stone arches span the valley floor with a gravity that defies the fleeting nature of the seasons. Below these heights, the Smardale Gill SSSI protects a rare, fragile habitat where the flora clings to the rocky slopes with a stubborn, singular beauty. Smardale remains a place of deep, resonant silence, punctuated only by the lowing of cattle and the sharp, sudden cry of birds above the gully. Sunlight catches the moss-covered walls of local enclosures, illuminating the patient work of centuries that has shaped these fields into a patchwork of grey and green. Through the changing light of late afternoon, the earth here seems to hold its breath, waiting for the long shadows to stretch across the limestone veins of the valley.
