About this property
Langcliffe 0.5 miles.
A delightful, old stone-built cottage situated close to the pretty Ribblesdale village of Langcliffe. Formerly the home of a mill worker, Locks Cottage stands at the end of a small row of traditional Dales cottages and is surrounded by peaceful Dales countryside. The setting is idyllic - the cottage overlooks an old mill pond and is close to the River Ribble as it winds downstream towards the popular market town of Settle. The cottage has been modernised, equipped and furnished to a high standard and enjoys lovely views over the garden and mill pond to the trees and hills beyond. There is excellent walking from the doorstep, not least along the riverbank. A wonderful base for a peaceful Dales holiday.
The village of Langcliffe sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, amidst stunning scenery and peaceful, rural tranquillity. Langcliffe has a large picturesque village green with delightful stone cottages overlooking it, and a beautiful old church dominates the village.It is only one and a half miles from Settle, a busy market town with a railway station, excellent shops and a variety of places to eat. Victoria Cave and waterfall is nearby, and for outdoor pursuits walking is an obvious choice and ramblers won't be disappointed with the many walks on offer, from gentle strolls to more taxing routes, providing something for all ages and abilities. Fishing is also available nearby and this wonderful area has so much to offer the holidaymaker, making it a fabulous year round base to discover the region's many attractions.
