Was so lovely to read this! Pen Hill is the distant view from my office window and it’s distinctive shape says ‘home’ to me when I’ve been away and am driving back

Thanks Sarah! It is a fabulous landmark. Not surprising that so many legends have sprung up around it over time, being so recognisable from the surrounding area.

This is very nice Sarah! Walking up it weekly eventually is impressive and you got to know it intimately. My lastest Substack entry sees me discovering and falling in love with the Dales.. in 1984! And one small village brook has stuck with me and won't leave my imagination.

Thanks Seb! The Dales region certainly is very loveable. So many captivating spots, full of history, myth and legend.

Wonderful, Sarah. That landscape brings back memories of when I worked in a hotel near Grassington one summer when I was 19 and went for long walks on my days off, not quite knowing where I'd end up!

Thanks Wendy! Ooooh, Grassington’s ace. Packed with fascinating history and stories. I’ll bet you have some great tales to tell from those days. :)
