Not far from Skipton, Hetton offers plenty for groups of friends or families to come and explore.

Nestled at the heart of the village, The Angel, and chef patron Michael Wignall welcome keen foodies from all over the world. As said by the team at The Angel themselves, Michael and his wife Johanna have a vision to keep everything that the Angel was famous for; fantastic food, a warm welcome and a deep connection with the dramatic Yorkshire landscape – and make it outstanding.

If you’re up for exploring, Hetton is a brilliant base for hiking or cycling through the Dales.

The landscape around here is classic Yorkshire Dales—green, hilly, and full of sheep. You could spend hours just wandering the paths, admiring the countryside, and breathing in that fresh country air. And if you’re keen on a day trip, nearby towns like Grassington and Skipton are worth a visit, each offering their own slice of local history, markets, and quaint shops.
