After not visiting for 3 years it was no surprise that Hawes was still a fantastic site and place to visit, we arrived on Sunday the 27th in glorious sunshine a wee bit chilly but to be expected. Was greeted by the wardens as their was a que at reception once settled off for a pint or 2 at the White Heart to late for a meal but hey after a couple of beers straight to the Chippy, since we were last their ownership has changed but the Fish and Chips hasn't still brilliant so much so we eat their twice second time on our way back from Leyburn on the little white bus, a must to try it takes you on cracking route taking in Askrigg the setting for all creatures great and small. We spent 4 nights their leaving on Thursday morning, we took in the rope factory and museum, the cheese factory, and of course Leyburn, since the last time we were their the toilet block has been refurbished, all in all a cracking site to visit, great walking and places to visit, a must for anyone whose looking for some new place to visit
