Gunnerside is a lovely old lead-mining village, where clusters of old cottages lead off to the surrounding ghylls and hills. Ideal for walkers, there are many gentle rambles and more strenuous hikes direct from the village. Good, freshly cooked food is available from Ghyllfoot tearoom and Mary Shaw's Cafe. The King's Head, in Gunnerside, is now reopened, dog-friendly. Nearby good local pubs at Muker, the Farmer's Arms (dog-friendly), and gastropubs at Low Row, the Punch Bowl, and the CB Inn, in Arkengarthdale. Kearton Country Hotel at Thwaite. The nearest shops are at Muker, 3 miles updale (restricted opening in off-season) and Reeth, 6 miles. There is also a good little market (Friday), post office, garage, tearooms, cafes and
