The first of three batches of photos from a long weekend away in the Yorkshire Dales village of Dent<\/a> [54 16 40 N, 2 27 16 W].<\/p>\n

\"DentRoomView\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View from room in the George & Dragon<\/a> – good value considering the location and facilities. Straight ahead is the Sun Inn (good for its food) and in the bottom right corner is a monument to Dent’s most famous son, the pioneer geologist Adam Sedgwick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DentA66\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coming<\/strong>: the dramatic, if often bleak, A66 across the Pennines.<\/p>\n

\"DentStAndrews\"<\/a> \"DentStAndrewsWindow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The parish church of Dent, St. Andrew’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DentKirkyStephenCloister\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Going<\/strong>: left from the small market town of Kirkby Stephen<\/a>.\u00a0 The unusual “cloisters” leading to the churchyard from the market place.<\/p>\n

\"DentKirkbyStephenTolls\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice of old market tolls in the Cloisters.<\/p>\n

\"DentKirkyStephenChurch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The parish church of Kirkby Stephen.<\/p>\n

\"DentKirkyStephenChurch2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are two unusual features here: in the bottom left hand corner is the “Loki stone”, thought to represent the Norse god, Loki<\/a>.\u00a0 On the other two pillars are wooden shelves with compartments for bread being offered to the poor of the parish.<\/p>\n

\"DentKirkbyStephenStation\"<\/a> \"DentKirkbyStephenStation2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The railway station<\/a> at Kirkby Stephen.\u00a0 Previously Kirkby Stephen had two stations: the former Kirkby Stephen East station<\/a> was reasonably central, while the Kirkby Stephen stop on the outstandingly scenic Settle-Carlisle line<\/a> is about a mile from the town.\u00a0 Dent station<\/a>, which is the next stop southbound on the Settle-Carlisle and the highest national rail station in England, is over 4 miles from Dent itself!\u00a0 Note the remaining patches of snow on the hills in the picture above taken in early March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
