A684. A scenic drive from Hawes to Leyburn in Wensleydale

This is the 1st of my 'Scenic drive' series.
Starting with a brief look around the beautiful market village of Hawes in Wensleydale, we follow the A684 east, through Wensleydale, all the way to the another market village, Leyburn. Along the way I give you some useful, (or useless) information about the villages we drive through to pass the time, whilst stopping half way at the lovely Aysgarth falls.
I have used multiple camera's to try to give you a view that, if you were driving, you would not always see.

Did not have a camera for that river crossing day.

Why do I never see a Hawes to Leyburn drive along the opposite side of the valley, going via Hardraw, Askrigg, Carperby, and Redmire ?
In many ways it's more scenic than taking the main road.

Thanks for the question. For me it is easier to drive along a road number, therefore easier for people to find and follow.
I agree the others side is a nicer drive though.
Perhaps something for me to experiment with next year.

@@davy-downtheroad I can easily understand your reasoning, though personally I find Dales "lesser roads" far more interesting, both as a driving experience and for what you find along the way.
My wife & I often take these roads & intentionally "get lost" on voyages of discovery, just to see what we might find.
