The village of Kettlewell is a typical Dales village, with a cluster of stone cottages and a village church. It sits on a bend in the River Wharfe. A small stream - Kettlewell Beck - flows right through the centre (see map), bridged at both the top and bottom end of the village. The village has three pubs, a village shop, a garage (rare in these parts!), a Youth Hostel, some tourist shops, cafés and bed & breakfast accommodation. It also famously holds a 'Scarecrow' Festival every August when hundreds of decorative scarecrows appear throughout the village.

nice wall... full of flowers
ReplyDeleteOOh lovely, you'll have to go back in August then! I also love yesterday's photo. Forgive the cliché PLEASE, but this is All Creatures Great and Small!
ReplyDeleteTake the ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff and you'll be in Finistère! ;-)
This and your last three or four shots are very much 'England', especially the Dales. Nice ones.
ReplyDeleteI have walked through Kettlewell more than once, but haven't yet been around at the time of the scarecrow festival; though I've certainly heard of it!
ReplyDeleteThat's where i'm dreaming to live since years!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll have the opportunity to go back in August and show us the scarecrow festival!
As I struggle to restore order to my large garden, I look wistfully at this beautiful little display -- heavenly!
ReplyDeleteFlowers against a backdrop of stone always catch my eye! Lovely! (Oh and to answer your question about my on-line Blurb book...I've had it on my sidebar for some time now, but I change things around a bit now and then so that's why you probably just now noticed it.) You should do one too, they are fun and pretty inexpensive!! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteThis looks so lovely!
