Wander along the banks of Walden Beck, which weaves its way through the village before joining the River Ure. Stop at Cauldron Force; a dramatic waterfall tumbles along the beck through the thick forest. You’ll notice a handful of independent businesses, including Cat Pottery, which creates unique clay cats, and WS Hartle Family Butcher, which sells high-quality locally sourced meat from the surrounding fields. Overlooking the sweeping village green, the Village Shop and Tearooms sells all the essentials and delicious homemade cake. Almost next door, the Fox and Hounds serves a selection of Yorkshire ales and delicious meals prepared with local, seasonal produce.

A short drive east from West Burton, the Forbidden Corner is not to be missed, with a series of weird and beautiful follies set in rambling gardens. Nearby, imposing Bolton Castle is well worth a visit, with breathtaking views across the hills and valleys of Wensleydale. The medieval market town of Richmond is the closest large town, with fabulous cafes and restaurants, medieval architecture and a cobbled marketplace overlooked by a hilltop castle.
