Grinton

Until the 19th century the moors rang with mining activity and today the village is notable for its three-arched bridge, church and character.
In medieval times the dead were brought in wicker biers from the far ends of Swaledale to the spacious churchyard where the part Norman church is called the Cathedral of the Dales.
A minor road passes a prehistoric earthworks probably dating from the Iron Age, a mile west of the village It then climbs high above the valley and the views of the expanse of moorland of Swaledale and up further to Askrigg is absolutely magnificent.
