The Village of Crakehall in the North Yorkshire Dales

We are now on Facebook

Extract from Sun newspaper 28th January 2012

'Rather fittingly, our home for a week in the Dales was a converted pub in Crakehall called Malt Shovel House.
It's a delightful and beautifully furnished perch that swallowed up our large family without so much as a hiccup.
Crakehall is a pretty village with a good local shop and a huge green where cricketers play.
You can watch them whilst supping a pint and eating fantastic food at the Bay Horse Inn'.

A picture of the village Inn should appear here!

Mark Denton is a professional photographer now living in the village - see his own personal website
where he has over 4000 fantastic photo's from all over the United Kingdom,
from here!

Crakehall Brownies and Guides will be serving a good value breakfast in the village hall on saturday, 11th February from 8am to 10 am. Everybody is welcome.

STOP PRESS -Heating Oil Cooperative
LATEST!!

"WITH the escalating price of heating oil, community oil buying clubs are being set up all over the country."
After some investigation, Simon Channon of Crakehall Lodge has come up with the following -
"there is scope to develop a cooperative for Crakehall and Langthorne with the biggest savings (of about 4p/litre) likely to be for those folk who normally order over 500 litres."
Those people that have shown an interest so far, have decided to go ahead and coordinate a delivery in May/June.
Anyone interested in joining or simply to get more information, please contact Chris McGee : from here! before the end of April.

just 4 miles from the A1 on the main A684 road
from Bedale to the Lake District, which puts it at
the gateway to Wensleydale.

Nestling between two beautiful National Parks,

(North Yorkshire was voted the 'Most Beautiful County in England' in 2008!!

Within the village there are a number of holiday cottages, bed & breakfast accommodations and caravan sites as well as
many well known nearby attractions within about 30 minutes drive.

Although North Yorkshire has many attractive villages, Crakehall has rightly been described as the prettiest of those
in the lower Dales.

The five-acre village green with its giant sycamores and lime trees is dominated by Crakehall Hall and is enclosed by stone built
cottages dating back to the 1750's.

Overlooked by the village Inn, the green hosts both cricket and quoits to provide the typical village green scene in summer.
