Settle is a fantastic town that is large enough to have plenty of amenities, yet not so big that it feels busy and impersonal. The friendly locals are proud of their community and will happily advise you on everything from the best walks to the tastiest ales, including those made in the award-winning Settle Brewery. Settle is renowned for the Settle to Carlisle Railway which runs for 73 miles through the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, introducing passengers to the staggeringly gorgeous scenery.
The landscape around Gemstone Cottage is ideal for people who enjoy escaping crowds and breathing in clean air. Settle is on the River Ribble, and there is a flat and accessible footpath running beside the water which is home to salmon and heron. The pure scale and magnitude of the Ribblehead Viaduct is simply breathtaking with some twenty four arches built back in the Victorian era forming part of what is today the famous Settle to Carlisle railway. The moors are just a half mile walk from Gemstone Cottage offering miles of tracks and trails for walkers and cyclists. Lace up your walking boots or hop onboard your mountain bike and explore the Settle Loop, Gisburn Forest, the Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-y-Ghent or Ingleside. Those who prefer more gentle activities will be happy to hear there is a golf course less than a mile from the cottage.
Popular Yorkshire Dales National Park attractions near Gemstone Cottage include the Stainforth Force waterfalls, Hoffman Kiln, Ingleborough Caves, and the Pennine Way.
