Our home is a stone cottage built in 1844 at the end of a small terrace, in a quiet village very close to the Yorkshire Dales national park.  The village has a pub The Hare and hounds, which serves good food all day. There are fishing ponds for trout and coarse fishing with a bar and cafe, that serves meals on a Friday evening and during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Two hundreds yards away is the children's play ground and tennis court.  The Pennine Way, a national trail, passes through the centre of the village and there are lovely walks from the house. There is lots of wildlife to be seen from our windows, as we have fields front and back.
