Yorkshire Dales villages - Keld, Swaledale

Tucked away in the far reaches of upper Swaledale, Keld is one of the most remote villages in the Dales (and one of few settlements in the country that still has no mobile phone signal!). It is an exquisite little place, the main part of the village hidden from the main road and accessible only down a steep, narrow, dead-end lane. For somewhere so tiny (there are about 30 buildings and less than 100 residents), it has a surprising number of places of interest in and around the village, and you can easily spend a day exploring the village itself and its immediate vicinity.

Many of these waterfalls can also be visited on one of the Muddy Boots walking routes.
