In a once Yorkshire Dales town cinema, postively no muzak, no corporate branding, merciful peace and big enough space to get lost and dreamy in, huge range of books on two floors, plus a back warren of delights, stuff on every conceivable subject, and coffee, comfortable sofas, views south and west over Western Dales fells, sunsets spill in through the front door, and above all, booksellers on hand in love with their space and stock.

The Howgills are an oft-ignored area, nestled between its larger cousins, the Lakes and the Dales. Great scenery, lovely walking. A nice base town at Sedbergh, with good food and pubs.

Take Junction for Kirby Lonsdale off M6 and then turn right following signs, or via A65
I've done a guide to the walk at www.seanliquorish.co.uk/blog/?p=11

Farfield Mill is a fantastic converted textile mill with 15 artist studios, arts and contemporary crafts for sale, a great tea room and some history of the area. There are two looms weaving rugs too.

The art and craft work for sale is really high quality and beautiful, and you have the opportunity to meet some of the the people who made them.
