What to do in Reeth

While our village is small, during the summer, visitors from all over the world pass through while on the Coast to Coast or stay here a while enjoying a little break. We have some fabulous local businesses that are well worth a visit during your stay here!

The Swale Trail is aimed at aspiring young mountain bikers and families who want to ride together. It is a unique facility in the Yorkshire Dales National Park – a valley bottom route 20km (12 miles) in length, of which 70% is on unsurfaced tracks. The Trail runs between Reeth and Keld in Swaledale and is easy to follow. You can do different sections or the whole route and there is bike hire, cafes and places to stop along the way.

If you are more confident on 2 feet than 2 wheels, then there is a variety of walks starting from Reeth
