Keld
Keld
Unspoilt stone village in Upper Swaledale. Close to where the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way cross each other, accounting for several places that offer accommodation.
It was basically a lead mining village, with a population of over 6,000 souls in the late 19th century. Now it has shrunk to less than 100.
The village does boast several Grade II Listed Buildings.
There is no shop, and the Youth Hostel has now closed.
The Pennine Way

The Pennine Way is a National Trail in England, with a small section in Scotland. The trail runs 267 miles from Edale, in the northern Derbyshire Peak District, north through the Yorkshire Dales and the Northumberland National Park and ends at Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish border. The path runs along the Pennine hills, sometimes described as the "backbone of England". Although not the United Kingdom's longest National Trail, it is according to the Ramblers' Association "one of Britain's best known and toughest".

Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk

The Coast to Coast Walk is a 192-mile route across northern England devised by Alfred Wainwright. It starts on the Irish Sea at St Bees in Cumbria and crosses the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks to finish at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea coast.
