It is situated at
the meeting point of
the two most
northerly of the
Yorkshire Dales:
Swaledale and
Arkengarthdale.
In Saxon times,
Reeth was only a
settlement on the
forest edge, but by
the time of the
Norman Conquest it
had grown
sufficiently in
importance to be
noted in the
Doomsday Book.
The village is
overlooked by the
fells of Fremington
Edge and Calver
Hill.
In May and June
every year, Reeth
becomes the hub of
the Swaledale
Festival, a two-week
celebration of
small-scale music
and guided walks.
Reeth has a resident
population of less
than a 1000 people
which can more the
double in the busy
tourist season.

Swaledale starts to
the east of Nine
Standards Rigg, the
prominent ridge with
nine ancient tall
cairns on the
Cumbria
Yorkshire
boundary which forms
part of the main
east–west watershed
of Northern England.
The moors on the
eastern flank of the
Rigg's moorland
become more concave
as they descend, to
become the narrow
valley sides of
upper Swaledale. At
Keld, the valley
runs briefly south
then turns east at
Thwaite to broaden
progressively as it
passes Muker,
Gunnerside and
Reeth.
Swaledale is a
typical limestone
Yorkshire dale, with
its narrow
valley-bottom road,
green meadows and
fellside fields,
white sheep and
white stone walls on
the glacier-formed
valley sides, and
darker moorland
skyline.
Designated a
National park in
1954, the seventh of
the ten Parks to be
designated.
The Park covers
over680 square
miles. It is the
third largest only
to the lake district
and Snowdonia
National parks.
The Park is
predominantly in
North Yorkshire with
approx 1/8th in
Cumbria.
The head of the
Swaledale Tup (Ram)
that makes up the
design of the
Y.D.N.P logo was
based upon a
photograph of the
best Tup at Muker
Show in 1974.
