Muker

• Two pubs, bed and breakfasts, a village store, a gallery, and a shop selling handcrafted knitwear made with local wool.
• St Mary's Church, dated to 1580 and one of the few English churches built during the reign of Elizabeth I. From the car park you get the classic view of village rooftops with the church tower behind.
• Footpaths straight out of the village lead across hay meadows, around Kisdon Gorge and up to Keld, passing four waterfalls on the way.
• Both the Pennine Way and Wainwright's Coast to Coast pass through, so you will often share the lanes with long-distance walkers. There is also a popular circular route of around 6.9 miles from the village.

The fields near the village include the Muker Meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest and part of the Northern Pennine Dales Meadows Special Area of Conservation. They are privately owned and actively farmed for hay, with public footpaths running through them. Flowers can include meadow buttercup, bistort, wood crane's-bill, globeflower, yellow-rattle, melancholy thistle and eyebright, and in good conditions you may see bees, butterflies and birds around them.

Stay on the public footpaths, walk single file through the meadow sections, do not trample the hay crop, keep dogs close and preferably on a lead, and follow the Countryside Code.

There is a 30-bay long-stay car park in the village and a public toilet opposite the village shop, which includes an accessible cubicle with RADAR key access. The village itself is small and hilly, and the meadow and gorge paths are uneven and exposed to weather, so bring proper footwear and layers whatever the forecast.
