Arkengarthdale - Langthwaite.
A view (into the sun) looking down on the village of Langthwaite in Arkengarthdale from the narrow road that reaches up the hillside to the hamlet of Booze
Langthwaite is one of the few villages in Arkengarthdale, North Yorkshire, England. The 1975 Disney picture "Escape from the Dark" was partly filmed in Langthwaite and around Arkengarthdale along with several scenes in the television series All Creatures Great and Small.
It is probably classed as the main settlement in the dale. It is one of the most northerly settlements in the whole of Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is home to a pub ('The Red Lion'), a shop and an unusual commissioners' church of 1817, which was one of many then built with money provided by Parliament in an attempt to counteract atheism and free thinking after the French Revolution.
Langthwaite is also home to a hexagonal powder house, built in 1807 to store gunpowder used in the many mines dotted around the area.
