Litton |
 |
Litton
is a peaceful, quiet hamlet of some 27 houses. There is a
sub-Post Office and the Queens Arms Inn which serves its own
brews, Littonale and Potts Beck ale, in a traditional bar,
together with delicious bar meals. The pace of life is relaxed,
people are friendly, and the setting is country. Here you
may escape the crowds, lose track of time and enjoy the special
charm of the Dales.

| Things
to do in the Area |
 |
The
ever-changing seasons ensure that Littondale has something to offer
whenever you come. From the door you can amble along the river or
twisting lanes down the Dale to Arncliffe, or updale to Halton Gill,
Foxup and the remote farm house at the end of the Cosh track.
If you are feeling
more energetic, there are several circular walks across the top
of the fells into upper Wharfedale, taking in the villages of Kettlewell,
Starbotton, Buckden, Hubberholme and Yockenthwaite - with a choice
of several interesting pubs for a lunch-time pie and a pint.
A short drive
from the door gives endless possibilities of further walks in some
of the best walking country around. Other activities such as fishing
and pony-trekking are available in the area. |
