Hawes North Yorkshire Map

About Hawes

Hawes, a vibrant heart in Wensleydale, breathes with the very spirit of the Yorkshire Dales. It lies 21.5 km south-south-east of Kirkby Stephen (from Kirkby Stephen: bearing 152°T, OS grid SD 874 898), and is situated north-north-east of Gayle village. The River Ure, a silver thread through the landscape, whispers tales of the past as it tumbles towards its confluence with the Swale, its waters reflecting the wide, open sky that presses down on the surrounding fells. Here, the air itself seems to carry the scent of damp earth and sheep's wool, a tangible reminder of Hawes' long association with the hardy wool trade. The cobbled market place, where generations have bartered and traded, still hums with a quiet energy on market days, the colourful stalls a brief, bright bloom against the stoic grey stone of the buildings. The imposing presence of the Pennine Hills forms a dramatic backdrop, their ancient contours etched by wind and rain, a constant, silent witness to the enduring character of this northern village.
