Muker in The Yorkshire Dales
Muker, Swaledale, North Yorkshire
Tucked away in the heart of Swaledale, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Muker is one of the Dales’ most scenic and characterful villages. Surrounded by sweeping fells, traditional wildflower hay meadows, and a patchwork of historic dry-stone walls, it offers some of the most iconic landscapes in the region. Popular with walkers, Muker lies on the Coast to Coast route and close to the Pennine Way, with stunning trails to Keld, Gunnerside, and over Kisdon Hill, where you’re likely to spot curlews, hares, or a kestrel wheeling overhead.
Despite its remote setting, Muker enjoys a strong sense of community, centred around the Farmer’s Arms — a welcoming, community-run pub. The village also has a shop, tearoom, and a respected gallery showcasing local artists. It's the kind of place where neighbours still find time to stop and chat — a rare and refreshing quality in today’s world. With its timeless charm, rich wildlife, and genuine village spirit, Muker offers a truly special way of life in one of the most beautiful corners of the Yorkshire Dales.
