Dales has a<br />
long standing<br />
connection<br />
with literature; Roald<br />

Repton; George Elliot<br />

considered to be the<br />
village backdrop for<br />
one of her novels;<br />

George Bernard Shaw were also regular<br />
visitors.<br />
William Wordsworth, H.G Wells<br />
and E.M Forster experienced<br />
the beauty of the dales and its<br />
meandering river valleys, and the area<br />
has set the scene in many feature films<br />
including the much loved children’s<br />
classic, The Chronicles of Narnia.<br />
