We were supposed to be caravanning in Holland this week but this didn't work out so picked Hawes as a replacement - what a great choice. Hawes is only a 5 minute walk from the site and is a lovely little market town with winding streets, numerous pubs and eating places and (for the wife) plenty of small shops to browse and spend (yet another pair of shoes). The 10 - 15 minute walk to Wensleydale Creamery was well worth the effort and we really enjoyed seeing the processes, the museum, the cheese making demonstration, cheese samples, and are now enjoying the items we brought back home with us. There are many good walks around Hawes and we also had a great day cycling to Hardraw to see the waterfall and sampled some good real ale. The only downside of this trip was the time limitations prevented us from staying longer but we'll be back.
