Great place to stop for coffee & cake or lunch when you are in the Reeth area, either enjoying one of the many walks starting in Reeth or merely passing through.
We weren't expecting that when we opened the Darlington & Stockton Times newspaper this week.. Our cafe reviewed in the Eating Out feature by Hannah Chapman. We think the visit was made on a very busy Bank Holiday weekend. Really great review, we're well pleased with that. Thanks to Bren and our awesome team for all the hard work, keeping standards high and great customer service.

Where would we be without tractors? They're work-horses, ancient and modern, used as transport, haulage and even a focus for leisure time tinkering?
I've often thought that if tractors carried a list of the jobs they do on their rear, bad tempered motorists travelling behind them on narrow country lanes would feel very differently.
Is there any other vehicle that inspires such incredible love and loyalty as the humble tractor? Obviously much of this is due to the tractor's many essential roles in farming but it feels like more than just that.
Toddlers can go into raptures of joy just to spot a tractor toy, and are beside themselves when they see the real thing. For some that attraction never goes away. Look at the line up of tractors at one of our Dales country shows, and you'll see the pride and love for even (or maybe especially?) the oldest, most basic models, They've been fettled and polished, absorbing countless hours of care.
This weekend Tractor Fest takes place at Newby Hall & Gardens where you'll be able to see hundreds of tractors and machines, as well as a slightly strange sight commemorating D-Day - a life-size knitted (yes, that's right) tank created by a committed team of volunteers. More tractors can be seen at Masham Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally on 20th and 21st July.
You can also see some lovely line ups at our agricultural shows through out the summer.

Love to peek inside private gardens? You'll get your chance over the next few weeks with open gardens events. It's a great way to see some wonderfully varied private gardens which are normally hidden from view, enjoy teas and cakes, plant sales, and sometimes music too - all at the same time as raising money for charities and communities.
It can be tricky to find out all the information for these events, which are often only promoted locally so I'll start a thread here and if you know of any you can also add them in the comments?
The National Garden Scheme Yorkshire (known affectionately as the 'Yellow Book') is a good place to start. Openings include Old Sleningford near Mickley (8th/9th June), Jervaulx Hall near Jervaulx Abbey (12th June, 7th Aug), Langcliffe Hall near Settle (30 June).
Many gardens are opened informally for local charities and community groups. If you're lucky sometimes a group of local residents open their gardens so you can see many at once. Here are some of the events I've recently spotted:
Mr. Yorke's Walled Garden, Richmond - 9th June Marcia McLuckie may add some details in the comments
Snape Open Gardens - 22nd - 23rd June
Mickley Open Gardens - 23rd June
Carperby Open Gardens - 30th June
We're also opening our riverside garden in Masham for the evening of 29th June. Message for details - it would be lovely to meet some of you!
Do please add any more you know of, or photos of ones you've previously enjoyed
