From east and A1
Enter Hawes on the A684 from Bedale, Leyburn and Bainbridge. Just as you begin to leave Hawes look out for left sign to Wensleydale Creamery. Just before petrol station on left, turn left towards Gayle.
From Hawes
Head towards Gayle (about ½ mile) then left bend, over bridge and then sharp right with houses on left. Follow this road for about 5 miles.
Landmarks, in order include:
Very narrow constriction between house & farm buildings - drive up a steep incline along left side of valley - blind summit, followed, after a couple of minutes, by left bend. Don't go towards Cam Houses - up short steep hill followed by right bend; you are now at 2000ft - Just before the village of Oughtershaw, on the right, is a Victorian stone commerative pillar, take the farm track on right, over the cattle grid, signposted Swarthghyll Farm - Nethergill is the first farm on right - Good luck and there is no mobile phone coverage after the view point!
From south
Head North from A59 Skipton bypass on the B6265 towards Grassington, through Cracoe and Threshfield. Where B6265 turns right towards Grassington carry straight on on the B6160 towards Buckden. In Buckden, on the edge of the village green take left fork to Hubberholme. Continue towards Hawes, over cattle grid at Yockenthwaite, through Oughtershaw. Just through Oughtershaw take left fork up a farm track over a cattle grid, signposted Swarthghyll Farm (apologies, we have no farm sign of our own here yet) - Nethergill is the first farm on right, about three quarters of a mile up the track. Please note no mobile phone coverage after Kettlewell.
Please park on the right just inside the drive and come through the blue side gate to the front door.
