Today is our first full day on Scar Close CL; we spent yesterday on the move from Holly Tree Cottage CL. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Upper Denby; the site was top class with a warm welcome and many interesting places to walk. When planning our current tour we sought to identify two new sites to visit as well as staying at two of our favourite CLs.

However, as we consider our options we talk about our misty walk yesterday and agree to do the same walk again aiming to admire the views.
So we head for Reeth and park up. It is a Sunday and this is obviously a popular spot for day-trippers. We manage to find a space on the village green and once again head off.

When we drove through Reeth a couple of days ago we agreed that it was a place we should visit. So we take the short drive up Swaledale and park on the green in the centre of the village.
