LANGTHWAITE
The scattered village of Langthwaite. Langthwaite is the only village
of any size in Arkengarthdale, situated on the loney road
that meanders up to Tan Hill from Reeth. Nearby are the
hamlets of Arkle, Booze, Eskeleth and Whaw. This
scattered community has two pubs, the Red Lion
which is near the village centre and the C.B. Inn,
overlooking Langthwaite. Once an important lead mining
area, the village is now a quiet retreat from the hassles
of everyday living. Lead mining has left it's marks on
Arkengarthdale. Turf Moor Hush was created by miners
breaking into the rock then diverting a stream to wash it
all out. There are several other so called Hushes in
Arkengarthdale. BACK |
