High Blean dates back to 1674, and nestles on the south side of Raydale, one of the quietest and most peaceful places of the Yorkshire Dales, which is also the home to Semerwater.

The B&B is two miles out of Bainbridge, four miles from Askrigg and five mile from Hawes but surrounded by stunning landscapes.

Raydale is a hidden gem and is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. It is ideal for cycling and walking, or just to sit, listen and take in the rugged beauty of the area. Semerwater, the subject of much myth and legend, fills the valley floor and is a haven for birds, as well as being open for sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, and fishing, it is also a venue for wild swimming.
