The Shawl takes its name from an incident in 1587 when Mary, Queen of Scots was captured here after escaping from Bolton Castle. During the recapture, her shawl fell to the ground and was discovered the next day. Nearby there are historic castles, stateley homes, spectacular scenery, craft centres, entertainment and sport facilities. Leyburn's Tourist Information Centre can provide leaflets giving details but most Yorkshire Dales attractions are to be found on YorkshireNet . There is a private car park with ample parking at the rear of the house, together with a lock-up garage for bikes.
Pets are welcome in our annexe, which is a double ensuite room at the rear of the house.
