"Hawes is a small market town and civil parish in Upper Wensleydale in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England, that was granted its market charter in 1699. Historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, Hawes is located at the head of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales; the River Ure runs to the north of the town and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is known as the home to the Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese.
The population in 2011 was 887; the estimated population in 2016 was 893. The parish of Hawes also includes the neighbouring hamlet of Gayle. The population of the full parish was 1,137 in 2011 and was estimated at 1,138 in 2016. Hawes is 31.2 miles (50.2 km) west of the county town of Northallerton. The Wensleydale Creamery is a major producer of Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese.
Described by Reader's Digest as The Village That Refused to Die, Hawes has a very active non-profit community group that seeks funding and uses the money to re-open keep community amenities that were closing.
Wensleydale is the dale or upper valley of the River Ure on the east side of the Pennines, one of the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England.
Wensleydale is one of only a few Yorkshire Dales not currently named after its principal river, but the older name, Yoredale, can still be seen on some maps and as the Yoredale Series of geological strata. The dale takes its name from the village of Wensley, once the market town for the dale. Wensley derives from Woden's ley, or meadow of the pagan god Woden.
The valley is famous for its cheese, with the main commercial production at Hawes. Most of the dale is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Part of lower Wensleydale, below East Witton, is within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Addlebrough, a 481 metres (1,578 feet)-high fell, dominates the local landscape." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

- What is it?
- Your father´s microfilm reader. This is the analogue tool of a Jedi lore keeper. Not as fleeting or degradable as a digital device. An elegant reader for a more civilized age.

6:20 p.m., Euston Station, London. The 6:17 to Glasgow was late, and no platform was announced yet. The waiting area (just behind me here) was packed with people standing and looking up at the Departure board. Meanwhile, Mollie was reading 'Gallows Thief', by Bernard Cornwell, with her suitcase propped up beside her. She says the book is very good.
