March 3, 2025,Yorkshire Dales - Swaledale Walk with Jackie: Reeth, Grinton and the River Swale

After a really nice overnight stay at Britains highest Inn - the Tan Hill, it was another little saunter around Swaledale after breakfast along the river, this time from Reeth. Quite cool and breezy but, as yesterday, beautiful scenery. I'll be back over this way again soon with the bike!
