Hardraw, Yorkshire Dales

Jim

Bank holiday weekend at Hardraw Old Schoolhouse, in the village of Hardraw near Hawes in Wensleydale. The Pennine Way passes beside the bunkhouse, on its way up Great Shunner Fell and over to Swaledale.

Directions: From the A1(M), follow the A684 west for 29 miles through Bedale and Leyburn. Turn right in Hawes before entering the one way system. Follow this road across a river and up a hill to a T junction where you turn left and descend into Hardraw - Hardraw Old School Bunkhouse is on your right after the pub and church. Grid ref SD866912, postcode DL8 3LZ. You will need to bring a sleeping bag. The Green Dragon pub is less than a hundred metres from the Old School Bunkhouse, and is the entrance to Hardraw Force, the highest single drop waterfall in England.
