Settle Flower Pot Festival & Hawes

Settle Flower Pot Festival & Hawes

 

Stroll around Settle during the summer months and be amazed, amused, astounded & astonished by the quirky flowerpot displays decorating the town.

The Flowerpot Festival is FREE, and you can have great fun exploring the town’s nooks and crannies searching for the Flowerpot Creations. However, if you don’t want to miss any Flowerpots, we strongly advise purchasing a Flowerpot Trail & Quiz Leaflet. There are three different Trails, each taking you to a different part of the town. As well as giving directions, the Leaflets also include a fun quiz asking simple questions about each display.

 

Settle Flowerpot Festival - Yorkshire Dales National Park : Yorkshire Dales National Park

 

This magical little market town is England's highest, set 850 feet above sea water. Hawes was first recorded as a market place in 1307 and the lively Tuesday market still entices shoppers in. Home to the world famous Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese and set amidst breath-taking scenery it's no surprise Hawes is one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

 

The name Hawes means a ‘pass between mountains' and it stands between the stunning Buttertubs and Fleet Moss.

 

You can also discover the 18th Century water-powered cotton spinning Gayle Mill. Converted to sawmill and electricity generation with original working Victorian turbines, lineshafting and woodworking machinery
