We spent some time wandering around Settle. Mollie and Nana visiting a new shop called "The House that Jack Built", which we learnt is owned by the sister & her daughter of the man who owns the Naked Man Cafe. Having spent a certain amount in the Naked Man Cafe we qualified for a 10% reduction on goods bought at "The House That Jack Built" - so the ladies had to visit the shop!
We then went up to Austwick, where Ruby had a long walk, which she obviously enjoyed as some of it she spent walking up a stream! When we called at the Gamecock we discovered that they had a large party in during the evening and were not really offering meals, however if we dined before 6 o'clock we could be accommodated, so to pass the time we drove on to Clapham.
Clapham Beck from the road bridge which crosses the beck
There are some lovely old typical dales stone built buildings in the village. This is a view alongside the beck looking towards the entrance to Ingleborough Hall, which is just behind this house.
The New Inn is sited on the roadside. This is a view of it from the bridge over the beck. I took these photos whilst the ladies explored the shops in the village.
Clapham Falls is one of the spots most of the tourists in the area make for, as well as the caves and nature trails. The noticeboard on the viewing platform tells you a little of the history of the falls.

The Clapham Falls Noticeboard
By the time we had viewed the falls it was time to return to Austwick.This is the main street, with the Village Store and Post Office on the right. You can see the sign for the Gamecock just beyond the parked car on the left.
The church in Austwick has an unusual dedication. Most churches are known as Saint......, but Austwick is dedicated to "The Epiphany"
