Charming but 'isolated' UK village is one of the most beautiful for miles around

Wharfedale, despite its charm, tends to get rather packed during the summer months. However, there's a charmingly named village, slightly off the beaten track that remains somewhat quieter. The narrow and winding two-mile road from Burnsall to Appletreewick doesn't lead anywhere else. You don't pass through Appletreewick unless you intend to or stumble upon it by happy accident.
As such, it doesn't see the same hustle and bustle as Burnsall during peak season. That's not to say it's short of tourists in winter. In an age where nearly everyone has a car and a smartphone, no place in the Yorkshire Dales is truly hidden. And visitors have good reason to search for Appletreewick online.
It's a typical Dales village with old stone houses overlooking the wide, green Wharfedale. Noteworthy buildings include the intriguingly named 15th-century Mock Beggar Hall and High Hall, a Tudor mansion, reports Yorkshire Live. The entirety of High Hall, which radiates nobility both inside and out, is available for holiday rentals if you fancy playing pretend as a 16th-century noble family for a week. Who wouldn't?.
Those with more modest budgets may prefer to stay in one of Appletreewick's holiday cottages or campsites. It's further from the Wharfe than say Grassington or Burnsall, so if you're keen on a dip, you'll need to be prepared and determined. If it's too cold or you simply can't be bothered, Appletreewick boasts two pubs - the New Inn and the Craven Arms - which are open all year round.
Nestled in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales lies the quaint village of Appletreewick, steeped in history and natural beauty. As local resident Richard from the Craven Arms explains: "It's a very historic village and one of the most beautiful villages in the Dales.".
