Langthwaite is the main huddle of Arkengarthdale, the remote side-dale that branches north-west off Swaledale at Reeth. Its tight cluster of cottages and the little arched bridge below are much photographed. Lead mining once filled this valley with people; now it’s one of the emptiest corners of the Dales. The Red Lion is a tiny, much-loved pub, and the Charles Bathurst Inn sits up the hill above.
