Hubberholme
is an old village in Upper Wharfedale in the Yorkshire
Dales, North Yorkshire, England, at the point where
Langstrothdale meets Wharfedale. It is quite secluded
and the nearest village is Buckden.
The old Norman church is the resting place of the
ashes of the writer and playwright J.B. Priestley.
The old inn, The George, is opposite the Church. This
is notable for the lit candle that sits on the bar
to indicate the pub is open and serving. The tradition
dates from distinctive auctions for agricultural land
or grazing that were held in The George. The last
bid to be received before the candle extinguished
was the winner.
Hubberholme is the mid point of a very popular walk
from Buckden, via Hubberholme to Cray, and along the
lower slopes of Buckden Pike back to Buckden - about
6 miles. The views down Wharfedale from above Hubberholme
are spectacular and amongst the best in the Yorkshire
dales. Try doing the walk See...>>>
