Quite one of my favourite places. It's the kind of place you have to know is there to find it. It's along the road from Bolton Abbey to Hawes, and if you blink, you'll miss it.
The first day we went there, we stood in the middle of the almost dry river bed. It rained overnight, and when we went back the next day, the spot where we had stood was under water. The ducks enjoyed it though!
The New Bridge, as it was called, was built to replace an ancient ford over the River Wharfe.
Behind this garage (where apparently they fix everything from Rolls Royces to lawnmowers), there is a large car and coach park and decent toilets. Kettlewell has thus become a good stop-off point for tourists
The Blue Bell Inn is just across the bridge from the car park, and opposite the car park is the lovely Cottage Tea Rooms. They do an excellent breakfast!
