Tuesday is market day in Settle, with vendors selling a wide range of crafts and items in the square. The Shambles, an old three-story building with stores on two floors and houses above, and the Town Hall dominate the market area, which is bordered by local businesses. There are several restaurants and pubs, as well as a public pool. Throughout the year, the Victoria Hall hosts entertainment and other activities such as folk nights. The famed Settle-Carlisle Railway passes through some of the country's most magnificent and inspiring upland terrain. Natural sites such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, as well as the surrounding Dales towns of Skipton and Malham, are easily accessible. Settle is in the heart of superb walking country and is a perfect starting point for exploring the Dales, Lake District, and Forest of Bowland.

    This is a well equipped and comfortable cottage The outlook isn’t great as it looks onto the back of a fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway with all their industrial sized bins but the smells are divine That said it is well positioned for the centre of Settle and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again The owner communicates in a friendly manner offering to help if any problems arise which they didn’t
