Welcome to Wheedale Gill

Wheedale Gill is a picturesque valley located in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The valley is surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The gill itself is a small stream that runs through the valley, providing a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the stream, taking in the stunning scenery and spotting wildlife such as otters and kingfishers.

One of the main attractions of Wheedale Gill is its rich history. The valley was once home to a thriving mining community, and visitors can still see the remains of old mine workings and buildings dotted throughout the landscape. The Wheedale Beck Mine, which operated from the mid-19th century until the early 20th century, was one of the largest lead mines in the area. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the mine and learn about the lives of the miners who worked there.

Wheedale Gill is also home to a variety of rare and endangered plant species, including the nationally scarce bird's-eye primrose and the northern hawk's-beard. The valley's unique geology and microclimate provide the perfect conditions for these plants to thrive. Visitors can take a guided tour of the valley with a local expert to learn more about the flora and fauna of the area. With its stunning scenery, rich history, and unique biodiversity, Wheedale Gill is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring North Yorkshire.
