The history of Reeth dates way back to the 18th Century, where it used to be the capital of the lead mining industry and a local centre for hand knitting, with a population of 1,460.

A quiet and peaceful location on the edge of the village. A great base for a walking holiday, Fremington Edge, Harkerside Moor. Calver Hill, Langthwaite and Keld being the highlights. The Copper Kettle cafe was a great place to finish the walks. The cottage was faultless and stayed warm even in the freezing weather. I would stay here again when I return to the area.Thanks Hannah – your cottage is spotless and faultless!
