This unspoilt busy little market town stands in meadows and woodland on the banks of the River Wenning and has a traditional market every Wednesday. Often overlooked, it is only three miles from Ingleton, famous for its waterfalls and caves, and seven miles from the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale.The Leeds-Morecambe railway line runs through the town and the Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent are nearby.The Yorkshire Dales National Park lies to the north and the Forest of Bowland National Landscape stretches away to the south. Bentham is truly a delightful corner of the Yorkshire Dales and provides an ideal base for walking, pony trekking, cycling or touring holidays.The Great Stone of Fourstones is just 2 miles south of High Bentham which offers breathtaking views of the Three Peaks.
