This North Yorkshire market town is set amid spectacular landscapes, and many of its stone buildings date back to the 17th century. Today, the town centre is home to independent shops, cafes, pubs, and a Tuesday market that fills the square with stands selling cheese, clothes, tools, and stationery.

In addition to a lively city centre, you’ll find plenty of ways to get up close and personal with the region’s natural landscape. A limestone cliff known as the Castleberg Crag towers over Settle, offering a sprawling view of the town for anyone willing to trek to the top of it. A 30-minute drive east brings you to Gordale Scar, where you can explore spellbinding waterfalls and rugged cliff faces. Settle is the starting point for the Settle-Carlisle railway line, one of Britain’s most scenic routes. As you rumble through the countryside, you’ll pass over the Ribblehead Viaduct, a 32-metre-high structure with 24 magnificent arches.
