The lovely Old Vicarage house has a unique story of a vicar with an untimely end. But it’s also a wonderful Bed and
Front of Old Vicarage, West Witton
Breakfast. It’s small – only 5 guest rooms, located in the quaint town of West Witton, Leyburn, UK. We met family there and stayed three delightful nights in August 2016.
They made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We had tea in the afternoon while we gathered up and visited in the guest parlor.
The main floor houses their kitchen, parlor and the breakfast room along with a private area. Upstairs you can gaze across the countryside. Some rooms view the gardens others the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
From the front porch, you can see Castle Bolton across the valley. In the back, the gardens welcome you to sit with a cup of tea or coffee. Cozy, homey, friendly – just like your hosts.
Morning brings a custom cooked English breakfast
Old Vicarage parking in rear, the garden near the house is great for a morning cup of coffee
In the morning Kirsteen will be your chef. Husband Roddy your server. Breakfast is a full, or part, custom cooked English breakfast. Relax, visit while they tease you with fabulous aromas floating in from the kitchen.
While you wait, enjoy the cold cereal, fruit, and yogurt… or save room for what is a generous spread. Want something different? They have other English favorites like smoked salmon or kippers and eggs to go with lots of great coffee or tea.
They don’t serve evening meals. But you’ll find an excellent pub and restaurant less than two blocks down the street.
Need wi-fi? Head to the parlor, I found the signal to be strongest there. While visiting, ask them to tell you the story of the Vicar who used to own the house and his untimely end.
Whether you want to hike, shop, or just wander the villages, the Old Vicarage is a great place to stay. We look forward to our next visit there.

In planning a recent trip to the UK, I came across a spa called The
Cowshed Spa at the St. Moritz
Cowshed Spa. This I had to see. Was it in a barn? I was in for a delightful visit and a few surprises.
Cowshed Spa is actually a chain of spas. The very first spa opened at Babington House, Somerset, UK in 1998… in the old cow shed. Since then they have stayed true to their vision to offer beautiful spas. Cowshed products are organic based and designed to be effective.
In addition to Cowshed spas, they are also located in the Soho group chain in the US, the UK and Europe.
Cowshed Spa, Trebetherick, Cornwall
I visited the Cowshed Spa in the lovely San Moritz hotel in Trebetherick in
Cowshed Spa, San Moritz retail and reception
Cornwall, UK. A beautiful, coastal location, it teems with tourists during the summer. When the crowds die down, the locals book again. They have the enviable position of little to no slow season.
Cowshed calls themselves “sociable” and for good reason. Beautiful and elegant, the mood is relaxed, friendly and social. You’re invited to come with friends, have services, visit and make new friends. They’re famous for detail manicure-pedicure area invites chatting and visiting.
Purposeful with a bit of whimsey
Treatment and product names are whimsical… Udderly Delightful, Udderly

The Ginger Tree sits amidst the most beautiful, serene area in England. The Yorkshire Dales. Ginger Tree is a short 1.5-mile drive from Richmond. It attracts visitors and locals from across the area. Peaceful, quiet, secluded, it prompts relaxation.
Aske Stables
Ginger Tree is located in an impressive Victorian building. Originally built as the horse stable for a nearby mansion. Walking in the stone paved courtyard, you expect the clatter of hooves.
Aske Stables now a business park with amazing views
Renovations took place in the late 1990s. They retained the gorgeous stone exterior. Insides were redone to meet modern needs. State of the art, eco-friendly Ascot Stables opened in 2000. Now over two dozen companies call it home.

Her vision has been for a total wellness center. In September 2016 this came to fruition. The Ginger Tree facility expanded.
It now includes:

Locals are lucky to have such a well thought out holistic center nearby. It is the trend of the future, today!
Well, we do all speak English, but UK food terms are a little different. My husband has newly emigrated from England. Our conversations have included many of these confusing terms.
Whichever side of the “pond” you live on, here are some food terms you want to know. They will help you get what you were hoping for when you place that food request.
UK Food terms:
Food term order Chips you’ll get fries
French fries – ask for chips
Potato chips– ask for crisps
Biscuits – are scones or cookies
Food term Crisps gets you potato chips
Biscuits and gravy – strictly a US phenomena. However, they do serve gravy with fries or on potatoes.
Mushy peas are not sweet peas. They are a dried marrowfat pea cooked like a dried bean.
Pudding is not the American blend of milk, sugar and a thickener. In England, pudding can be sweet or savory. Most commonly, it refers to a desert course, but it can also be part of the main course.
Desert puddings are fatty starch or dairy based. They include rice pudding, steamed cake puddings, or with dry fruits added, Christmas pudding.
Savory dishes include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding,
Food term: Yorkshire Puddings
and steak and kidney pudding. In northern England, the traditional Sunday dinner includes roast, vegetables, potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding.
If you are truly craving an American pudding for desert, try this. Ask for a custard (egg-based), blancmange (starch based), or jelly (gelatin base). The names come from the type of base.
US and UK Breakfast terms
Breakfast in the UK is traditionally served between 7 – 9 AM. You will find this still common in many hotels, inns or guesthouses. While most British no longer have a “full English breakfast” regularly, you will find it in public lodging.
An English or Full English breakfast includes eggs, bacon, sausage, fried bread or toast, baked beans, tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms. Some include black pudding, (meat, fat, and oats). You will also find a selection of cereals and fruit or fruit juices available along with coffee or tea.
Full English Breakfast is a food term for a meal designed to last all day
While I saw breakfast puddings on almost every menu… most guests omitted them.
The good news is most hosts are happy to let you pick what you’d like on your plate. It’s a good way to keep control of your diet.
Like the traditional American Breakfast, Full English kept a worker fueled up. If you want to maintain your weight on holiday, control your plate.
US and UK meal terms
In the US, lunch is traditionally the mid-day meal. Supper or dinner is the evening meal. Dinner is usually a little more formal and sometimes later. But both terms are interchanged.
Dinner is generally the largest meal of the day on both sides of the Atlantic. Agricultural workers, commonly had dinner at noon They needed the bigger meal to last the day. Sunday dinner is any time in the afternoon.
In the UK the mid-day meal is dinner. Probably historically, this is based on the same reasons as in the US where the term is used. If the dinner (noon) meal was light, people got hungry before a 7:30 evening meal. The habit of having a bite to eat along with tea became common and afternoon tea got its name. There are several varieties of tea.
Tea terms
If you visit any tea shop or bakery shop in the UK, you can enjoy a cup of tea along with perhaps soup, cakes or other pastries.
Cream tea has nothing to do with cream in the tea. It is afternoon tea
Food term: Clotted cream and scone
served with a freshly made scone, fresh fruit preserves, and clotted cream. Clotted cream is nothing like the name sounds. No lumps here. Smooth, velvety richness. A cross between butter and ice cream. It uses whole milk like butter. The milk is cooked at a low proofing temperature until the cream sets. Not low calorie, but divine decadence.
High tea can be a more formal affair that offers tea, champagne, finger
Food term: Afternoon tea
sandwiches and bite size desserts. Avoid asking for high tea at 2 PM. It labels you as a tourist. Wait until 3 or be safe and check the menu for options.
Tea also refers to a lighter earlier evening meal served between 5 – 6:30 PM. In the old days when the workers did not get afternoon breaks, they were starving by the time they got home. So they would have cheese, meat pies, scones and more.
They call a later evening meal at home supper. A more formal or dining out evening meal is dinner.
The George and Dragon Inn is a 17th-century coaching inn located in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park, UK.
After nearly a 24 hour 5000+ mile journey, it welcomed me for a much-needed rest. You never know what to expect when stepping inside a historic pub, but the George and Dragon is a fabulous find.
Visiting here is a visit of history. Narrow country roads make you slow down and enjoy the views. And the views are spectacular.
George and Dragon Inn, Aysgarth
Situated on the edge of quaint Aysgarth village, the George and Dragon
Pub at George and Dragon Inn
has been greeting travelers for over 300 years. Called a coaching inn, it was a place the carriages stopped to give weary travelers a break. Friendly, casual, welcoming. When you step inside you step back in history. Rich dark woods, brass, vintage decor in a classic Dales pub style. Eclectic collections adorn the walls. Fun. Step back in time and slow down.
Friendly, comfy, delightful
The manager and staff were excellent hosts. Upstairs, the generous queen
View of the Dales from a room at George and Dragon Inn
bed was super comfy. The building may be old, but the amenities are modern. Complete with wi-fi. All rooms are en-suite!
The food in the Black Sheep Pub was delightful. From classics like fish and chips or meat pies to gourmet pub food, choices are diverse. Don’t forget to try a local brew.
Guests are also treated to great breakfast options. Start with the cereal bar then pick your customized hot breakfast from a part or full English and more.
There is a car park on the hotel property. If you are campers, there is a camping area nearby. Hikers were stopping past the pub for a brew on their way back home.
It’s a central location for exploring the area.
Wensleydale cheese factory, Cover River
Bolton Castle viewed from across the Dales
Bolton Castle, Aysgarth Falls. Lots of spectacular scenery. Great hiking. Shopping. If the landscape looks familiar it’s been in the movies. Both Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and All Creatures Great and Small were set here. Nearby, you can find the building that still bears the Harriott name.
Not sure what to see? Just ask, they will be happy to make recommendations based on your interests.
Thanks much for a great visit!! We look forward to returning. For the very best prices, contact the inn directly and ask about specials. http://www.georgeanddragonaysgarth.co.uk/home
The locals call it “God’s country”. The Yorkshire Dales is unique and enchanting. Remove the cars, you’d swear you are transported back 150 years or more.
Life in stone cottages, Manor houses or castles. It’s a countryside as remote and secluded as it comes in England. The landscape is crisscrossed with stone fences that have stood for hundreds of years.
From the Vale of York to the top of the Pennines
The Yorkshire Dales National Park is in the ancient county of Yorkshire. The Dales stretch across the steep glacially rounded Pennines, that form the backbone of England. Sprawling across 680 square miles, the park was created in 1954 to conserve its beauty for the future.
Giant domes loom above green valleys and sparkling rivers. Soft peaks and sharp slopes. Dry stone walls, limestone scars, and lofty craigs. Lush pastures, heather moorlands. Among the mountains are dozens of interconnected valleys (dales). Their individual personalities blossom amidst the harmony of this National Park.
Lodging
Stone-built villages dot the landscape. No hotel chains here. Building
Yorkshire Dales is dotted with stone farms
codes are enforced to maintain the history.Inns, small hotels and bed and breakfasts are the norm. There are also places to camp or park caravans (recreational vehicles).
Inns, small hotels and Bed and Breakfast homes are the norm. There are also places to camp or park caravans (recreational vehicles).
Your inn may be from the 17th, 18th or 19th century, but you will find all the modern facilities within. While there are some exceptions, most rooms are en-suite. Do expect steep stairs and sometimes a low ceiling.
Friendliness abounds. A warm greeting and a fabulous stay. Most properties include full breakfast. Inns and hotels also serve meals throughout the day.
Explore the Yorkshire Dales
Roads are narrow, the pace is slower. Whether you chose to drive, walk or
Bolton Castle viewed from across the Dales
cycle there are paths for you. Be aware this is farming country. Watch for agricultural vehicles – and animals. This is where they live and work.
For hikers and cyclists, you have lots of choices. Choose a day trip from your inn. Or elect to follow one of the circular tours. These tours will take you from one inn to the next. There you will find a comfortable bed and good hot foot to welcome you at the end of the day.
Whether you choose a leisurely meander or something more challenging options abound. Books and maps will help you pick your route. Check the tourist information sites if you want to plan in advance. The Three Peaks tour is popular with the more adventurous.
Stone bridges cross every stream or river. They were designed for horse-drawn carriages. Approach these with courtesy as they handle one car or truck at a time. In other parts of the world, they might have replaced and modernized to meet the demands of the auto. The Dales is about protecting and history. Enjoy, photograph, savor.
So what’s to see beyond the spectacular landscape? Rushing rivers, waterfalls, stone walls crisscross every field, sheep, hay, cattle. Visit castles, gardens, museums and stately homes. Wensleydale Cheese Factory, artisan candle makers, brewery tours, shops of all manner.
Small friendly places where the locals go. Lots of great tea rooms, pubs, and foods of all sorts. Don’t miss a farmer’s market where the locals go to visit, buy and sell. How about a ride on one of the railway routes that connect the many towns? Choices are many, scenic and nostalgic including steam powered trains.
Enjoy Yorkshire Dales History
This is James Herriot Country. Herriot is the world’s most famous vet. He brought the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and the lives of the locals to life for readers all over the world. Although he created a fictitious setting, the places where he lived and worked are strongly featured. For a feel of his home visit Hawes, Richmond, Leyburn, Middleham, Swaledale, and Wensleydale. This is the area the BBC used for the filming of the popular TV series “All Creatures Great and Small.”
If you are a classical novels buff the place may feel familiar. Charlotte Bronte lived and worked here. Charlotte’s childhood and experiences as a governess were her inspiration. Moors, manors, highlands. Jane Eyre and many other works live in the Yorkshire Dales.
Regardless of the season, the place is pure magic. Choose to see it during peak summer season or visit in the winter when you feel you have it to yourself. Want a cozy getaway spot? Try Middleham. A castle in your backyard, pubs across the square. Choose an inn or a private “to let.” Every morning the race horses clop their way up the cobblestone market square and up onto the hills for their workout.
Plan ahead for the summer as the locals flock to the area for holiday. Some of the attractions don’t run year around so it’s good to investigate. Regardless of when you go, you will be greeted warmly and served great hot food often near a cozy fireplace. Locals think it is the best place for great beer.
Want to visit the land of your heritage? Just love Scotland? Here are some
Eileen Donan Castle
tidbits you might enjoy.
Scottish History
The Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae is the oldest in Britain. It’s the oldest building, located on Orkney Island dates to 3100 BC. Orkney is one of about 790 islands in Scotland located to the far north of the country.
Roman invasions marked the beginning of modern history. Unable to defeat the locals, they finally withdrew and settled for building the Antoine wall to keep them in out of England.
The Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata was founded in the 6th Century. In the next century, an Irish missionary founded a monastery and introduced Celtic Christianity to the pagan Scoti and Picts.
Places to visit in Scotland
Like tall places? Visit Ben Nevis, the highest point at 4406 feet. The ancient Scottish mountains have been glacially sculpted. You’ll feel like you are in an alien landscape, majestic and stark.
Narrow Scottish road on the Isle of Skye looking to the mainland
Prefer fishing? You’ll find more than 600 square miles of freshwater lakes. The deepest is Loch Morar at 1077 feet. Legends still exist of giant sea monsters lurking in the deep lochs.
Don’t miss the distilleries making Scottish whisky. Whisky is synonymous with Scotland. It’s who they are. Currently, there are 98 active distilleries. They employ over 10,000 people and account for 85% of the Scottish food and beverage exports.
Did you know? Scotland didn’t invent whisky. It was invented in China. The Irish monks started distilling it in the 1400s and it reached Scotland about 100 years later.
Scotland is home to the oldest tree in Europe. You can discover the twisted yew in Fortingall where it has grown for 3000 years.
Over 2000 castles were built in Scotland. Many now are only historical documents or ruins. Others remain in private ownership. Historic Scotland cares for over 300 properties including 65 castles. These are open to the public. Be sure to take a raincoat or umbrella as it rains frequently in Scotland.
Be sure to take a raincoat or umbrella when touring here as it rains frequently.
Where to live
Most of Scotland’s 5.2 million people live in the lower 30% of the country. They account for 8.5% of the total UK population.
What’s in the upper 70%? Glacially sculpted mountains and valleys, hardy farmers, lots of heather and sheep.
Did you know?
Keep meeting Americans with Scottish ancestry? Not surprising. There are as many Scottish people in America as in Scotland with about 5 million claiming Scottish ancestry.
You’ll hear not one but three official languages spoken. English, Scottish and Scottish Gaelic.
Kilts, tartans, and bagpipes are an integral part of Scottish culture. But history notes evidence of them in Central Europe dating to the Bronze Age. Bagpipes may have come from ancient central Asia.
Is traveling internationally on your bucket list? Don’t let the dream slip away. International travel is life-changing. It’s an adventure. Faraway places, new cultures, different accents, not to mention the food. You’ll experience broadened horizons, great memories. Britain is a great place to start.
The first wagon train crossed the US heading west in 1841. That’s 175 years ago. No original wood structures are still standing. In Britain 175 years of age is nothing for a building. You can stay in a castle built in the 11th century, or an inn built in the 1700s. Look and you will find evidence of people living there for over 2000 years.
Stonehenge is the most famous of the standing stones. Other standing stones are much older. Some date back to the Neolithic age and you can walk freely among them with no fences or restriction. Hidden gems you can seek out. They will inspire you.
Travel now!
Right now, it’s a great time to visit Britain. The rate of exchange from dollars to pounds is the best ever. British pounds have always been worth more against any other currency. Right now instead of being near $2.00 to 1£, it has been hovering around the $1.33 range. That means your dollar goes a lot farther.
Two other benefits? They speak English. And more Americans have British ancestry than any other group. You can trace your roots; walk the soil of your ancestors. Or, just enjoy the people and places.
How to get around Britain…
A little planning will help your trip be a success and memory maker. Do you want to stay in the big cities? It’s easy to take the train to get between them. In 4-1/2 hours, you can get from London to Edinburgh. Or maybe you want to focus just on one city. Public transit can get you around like a local.
Maybe you want to get out into the countryside. Meet the locals. Experience the charm of the villages. Just like in the US, get out of the big cities and you will find the people more friendly and relaxed. Visit castles, standing stones, manor houses, quaint inns. Stop into a pub for a cup of coffee, tea or brew. They are happy to share their stories, their history.
You could take tour buses, many people do. You and a group of 40 are loaded up and shuttled off to see the sites. Going with a crowd not your idea of fun, you could rent a car. Renting a car in the UK is a bit of an adventure. You will be driving on the opposite side of the road. It’s easiest done with a driver and a navigator. The driver can focus on the road and the navigator can guide the turns.
Country maps are handy but often they don’t give you road detail. A good sat-nav is helpful. Rent a car with a sat-nav, or take a device like a Garmin with you. Smartphones have navigation ability but it is going to be using your data feed. Prices for data in foreign countries can be steep. Investigate before you go. You may only want to use your device where there is free Wi-Fi.
What to do?
Do you want to get the flavor of Britain? Maybe this is a family heritage trip. Maybe you want to try hiking. Traveling Hadrian’s wall, in the beautiful Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales are popular with the locals and visitors alike. Do it for a day, or take one of the routes that include overnights along the way.
Horse lovers can do day rides between bed and breakfasts and see the country in a unique way. Identify your goals and you are a giant step closer to getting the experience you want.
Plot out where you want to visit and pick destinations. For the best prices, check Trip Advisor or other online booking agency. Other traveler’s reviews can help you select the place that meets your needs and budget. Once you have your list, contact the property directly. Ask about their specials. Hotels and inns have to pay those booking companies a commission, up to 15% of the room cost. Typically, if you call direct, you will save.
Peak season in the UK is August. Loads of locals take their vacations then. If you can avoid it, you will save money and find your destinations less crowded. You won’t typically find that much difference in weather from spring to summer. Many people claim that like Oregon, autumn can be the best. If you are interested in winter sports like skiing, winter is the season for you.
How much to see?
England, Scotland, and Wales are bigger than they seem. Yes, you can take the total square miles and put it in the state of Oregon. But the island is longer and narrower. The route from the traditional extreme end points of Land’s End to John o’ Groats is 814-838 miles depending on route. Driving time without traffic just under 16 hours. There will be traffic, count on it. Also, lots of interesting places in between. Don’t miss them.
Selecting one or several areas to focus on. Stay several days. Explore from your base camp. It’s more relaxing than living out of a suitcase. Castles, manor houses, Inns and Bed and Breakfasts all across the UK offer accommodations. Chain hotels with names you will recognize are also available. They may not look like the ones back home. Camping, yurts, glamping and recreational vehicles called Caravans are popular with the locals. Pick your experience.
If driving, allow for the roads. Going a distance of 135 miles in a day sounds easy. It is on a freeway. But if is on two-lane roads there are lots of curves more as they cross the undulating lands. A two-hour freeway trip can easily take four on secondary roads. Take time for photo opportunities. They will be around every bend.
