Smelthouses North Yorkshire Map

About Smelthouses

Smelthouses, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, carries the quiet resonance of a place shaped by the earth and its labours. It lies 3.6 km east-south-east of Pateley Bridge (from Pateley Bridge: bearing 113°T, OS grid SE 192 642), and is situated north-north-east of Low Laithe village. The air here often holds the scent of damp stone and distant sheep, a perfume of the Yorkshire Dales that enfolds Smelthouses. Its landscape, a tapestry of rolling fields dissected by drystone walls, speaks of centuries of husbandry, where the very contours of the land are etched by the patient hands of farmers. Evidence of its industrial past, perhaps a whisper of lead mining or smelting, can still be felt in the character of the place, a resilience in the stone and the quiet determined way the houses cling to the slopes. The light, when it breaks through the frequent cloud cover, can transform the grey slate roofs into surfaces of burnished silver, catching the eye with a fleeting, unexpected brilliance.
