Local Area
A bustling market town found in the foothills of the Pennines, The Wickets is a fantastic scenic location in picturesque North Yorkshire. The town is actually found beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain – offering plenty of spectacular views for locals.
Set just moments from the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland, Settle is a bustling market town with plenty of charm and historic character, making it an ideal location for your retirement.
Traditional values aren’t lost in this bustling town though and on Tuesdays Settle still hosts its weekly market.
