Great and Little Crakehall - now known more generally as

Crakehall . . .

	. . . is a small, compact village (pictured above, from the air) 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, it makes an ideal centre from which to explore the Dales and Moors of North Yorkshire.

(In the Summer of 2006, North Yorkshire was voted the "Most Beautiful County in England")

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.

Early in 2008, the Parish Council entered 3 village initiatives
(the Newsletter, Parish Plan and this Website)
in the Village Ventures competition organised by the above named
body and all three were included in the final shortlist of 6.
Amazing!!
At an Awards Evening in October 2008 to
'Celebrate Outstanding Community Projects',
the website was Highly Commended and the Parish Plan
was runner-up to the winners
Husthwaite - with their 'Welcome Pack'.
