Wensleydale is James Herriot country with spectacular Yorkshire scenery and all manner of creatures - great and small. It is home to the iconic curlew and to rare surprises like sea lampreys and peregrine falcons. There are pretty villages, wonderful waterfalls, rare flowers, wild fells, and even wilder weather. But best of all, Wensleydale is the keeper of an ancient British recipe, not only for a natural way of life but also for one of the nation's favourite bits of cheese.
