I have booked my girlfriend a surprise weekend away in the Dales for her birthday over the second weekend in January. We’re staying in Redmire, so for our first night, I booked The Redmire Village Pub.

So far, so good!

Since then, I’ve discovered that quite a lot of places seem to be shut for renovation work or just staff holidays at the start of Jan. I guess it must be a quiet time for visiting the Dales, but unfortunately that’s when her birthday is!

The fancier / best rated restaurants nearby that I planned as a treat, like the Wensleydale Heiffer, Sanpiper Inn, or The Saddle Room, are all closed!

Even fun local activities like The Forbidden Corner I didn’t realise weren’t open. Obviously we can still visit Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle and go on walks / hikes, but it’s left my plans a little sparse!

So I’m just wondering if anyone with a more intimate knowledge of the area could recommend any really good restaurants that will still be open or just any fun or interesting things that might be good to do nearby at that time of year.

Thank you!

Hello Leeds,

My band Ey Up Maiden (Iron Maiden tribute) are playing a show in Morley @ the Miners Arms in Morley next Saturday and then at The Duck & Drake in the city itself the week after.

It's free entry. If you want to attend, you just need to show up.

Tried looking, everything seems to be either 5 a side or you have to join a league team and do try outs etc....any help ?

Not that it’s that important to most, but I posted a post a few weeks ago about moving from London to Halifax with my little boy, and wanted to thank everyone who had something positive to say, as so far it’s exceeded my expectations and I reckon life will be much more enjoyable here. You all made me more excited for this scary change, and it helped hugely that my boy got to see his first proper snowfall a week after we moved here (he’s only ever seen a very thin layer once back down in London). To a new future in West Yorkshire!

Created a brand new sub: r/TheNorthEngland as there's currently no active subs that are just for the North. I'm hoping it becomes similar to this sub, but for questions/discussions regarding the whole of the North of England. Hoping it will become active and would super appreciate anyone who's interested or has the time to join/post :)

I am taking on an incredible series of challenges to raise awareness and funds for stroke research. i am walking the yorkshire 3 peaks once a month for 12 whole months, This also includes walking the Dales Highway in January 2025, the Coast to Coast Walk from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay in September 2025, and from Robin Hood's Bay to Horton in Ribblesdale to complete the final month's challenge of walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks. But this isn't just about conquering mountains; it's about conquering strokes.

⭐️Why Strokes Matter:⭐️

Strokes affect millions of lives worldwide, leaving survivors and their families grappling with physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

My grandad passed away in January 2023, My personal connection to this cause drives me to make a difference.

⭐️My Commitment:⭐️

For 12 months, I'll lace up my boots, breathe in the fresh Yorkshire air, and trek across Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. Each step will raise awareness and funds for stroke research. In addition to this, I will be taking on the Dales Highway and the Coast to Coast Walk. I will walk from the finish of the Coast to Coast to Horton in Ribblesdale to complete the final month's challenge of walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

⭐️Documenting the Journey:⭐️

Follow my adventures on my YouTube channel, ⭐️The Walking Craftsman⭐️.

I'll share the highs, the lows, and the breathtaking views as I tackle the peaks. And that's not all—I'm also considering taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge not in the 24 hours but 3 seperste occasions from may 2025 onwards , which includes Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England), and Snowdon (Wales).

⭐️Beyond the Peaks:⭐️

This campaign isn't limited to the Yorkshire Three Peaks. I'll be exploring other scenic walks, connecting with nature, and inviting you to be part of this transformative journey.

⭐️Upcoming Challenges:⭐️

⭐️The Dales Highway in January:⭐️ This 90-mile trail stretches from Saltaire to Appleby-in-Westmorland, traversing the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. It's a challenging route that showcases the beauty of the region, with varied terrain and breathtaking views. The total elevation gain for this walk is approximately 14,003 feet.

⭐️Coast to Coast Walk in September 2025:⭐️

This iconic route covers approximately 192 miles, starting from St Bees and ending at Robin Hood's Bay. It crosses the North York Moors and the Lake District before reaching the Yorkshire Dales. The total elevation gain for this walk is approximately 22,000 feet.

⭐️Robin Hood's Bay to Horton in Ribblesdale:⭐️ After completing the Coast to Coast Walk, I'll continue from Robin Hood's Bay to Horton in Ribblesdale, covering approximately 100 miles with an elevation gain of around 9,000 feet.

⭐️Yorkshire Three Peaks Monthly Challenge:⭐️ Each month, I'll be tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks, covering a total of 24.5 miles and 5,200 feet of ascent each time. Over 12 months, this will amount to 294 miles and 62,400 feet of elevation gain.

⭐️Total Mileage and Elevation:⭐️

⭐️Yorkshire Three Peaks (12 months):⭐️ 294 miles, 62,400 feet of elevation gain.

⭐️The Dales Highway:⭐️ 90 miles, 14,003 feet of elevation gain.

⭐️Coast to Coast Walk:⭐️ 192 miles, 22,000 feet of elevation gain.

⭐️Robin Hood's Bay to Horton in Ribblesdale:⭐️100 miles, with an elevation gain of approximately 9,000 feet.

⭐️Grand Total:⭐️ 676 miles of walking and 107,403 feet of elevation gain over the course of the year.

⭐️Let's Climb Higher, Together!⭐️

Thank you for being part of this meaningful endeavor. Your generosity matters, and together, we'll make strides toward a stroke-free world. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our goal. Please consider donating today to support stroke research and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by strokes.

What about jokes about your city or county? What jokes make you laugh everytime you hear them?

I’ve passed this building many times without noticing its tribute to an important figure of history who was famous in her own right but also the mother of Mary Shelley. She died shortly after giving birth to the author of Frankenstein

I'm planning to do this walk next week. However, the forecast isn't great, and also looking online it says it takes 7-11 hours.

Since I want to get the coastliner bus from Whitby, I can't really spend that long walking. I'm keen to do at least part of it, as it's the main reason for my trip.

Which is the best bit of the walk? And is there some way I could take a bus part of the way (seems to be the x93 max, which runs along the A171) and walk part of it?

Appreciate any help!

I'm new to the craft and would like to learn from and alongside others. :)

So I was planning on spending a day in Malton anyway, but I realized that I'm going to be in the area during the festival

Is this a good festival to go to?

If you guys recommend it, are there any foods you especially like that I should try?

Thanks!

Hello Redditors! A family member ordered flowers for a funeral from a website "Prestige Flowers dot co dot uk" and they didn't arrive. The website doesn't have any contact details / physical address and their terms and conditions give a "100% guarantee" that includes various clauses saying they're not responsible for failure to deliver and I see from googling that this company gets a lot of complaints...

The website, does, however, claim that they have a shop at the following address: E Mill Court Yard, Dean Clough, Halifax, HX3 5AX. Anyone from here who lives in Halifax - is this a real shop? Can't find it on Google Maps! But perhaps it's inside a shopping centre or similar? Thanks!!
