Tourist Guide

Preston under Scar The view of the village from the opposite side of the dale. Preston Scar is behind the village, with the limestone quarries almost totally hidden from this angle.
Middleham High Moor gallops The view across the gallops towards Penhill. All is quiet here at lunchtime on a summer day, but come this way in the early morning and there will be the thunder of hooves as the racehorses gallop by.
Altitude Training Looking over the gallops on Middleham High Moor to Melmerby Moor beyond. Surprisingly, the gallops are a thousand feet above sea level.

Hotel is welcoming of pets but dog friendly rooms are on the second floor or above and there's no lift so it's a trek during the night to take your dog downstairs to do it's business.

Also heavy hinting on vegetarian meals with only veggie cookbooks in kitchen ? Felt a bit pointed. We found it cold although ...
