The unspoilt little market town of Bentham 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 AONB (Area Of Natural Beauty) stretches away to the south. Bentham is truly a delightful corner of the Dales and provides an ideal base for walking, pony trekking, cycling or touring holidays.
Places of interest include, The Great Stone of Fourstones (2 miles south of High Bentham), which offers breathtaking views of the three peaks. The Forest of Bowland AONB is ideal for birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Explore the nature trails and contrasting wild upland country, woodlands and pastures. Bentham Pottery lets you watch the local potters at work, also worth a visit is Bentham Golf course; Ingleborough Cave and Estate Nature Trail in Clapham.
