Settle, Yorkshire Dales, Summer
I do have a strong affinity for Settle.
I do have a strong affinity for Settle.
There’s not many other places I’d rather live in; I consider myself, on a daily basis, to be very fortunate to live in Kendal as it is. But if I had to live somewhere else, Settle would definitely be a top contender.
The market town is small but perfectly formed, ancient and historical, and enjoys being right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It’s such a pretty town.
Lisabet and I originally planned for a good hike from Settle to Scaleber Force, a beautiful waterfall situated only 1.5 miles east of the town with a good 500ft ascent to it. But after checking out the waterfall and nabbing some photos we felt we were good for more, and spotted a nearby footpath sign towards Attermire Scar.
What followed was the discovery of some of the best limestone scenery I’ve seen.
All photos shot on a Fujifilm X-T2 with a Fujinon XF 18–55mm f/2.8–4.0 lens using a customised Classic Chrome film simulation.
