About location

Tucked along the upper Swaledale valley, Low Row is a place whose character is shaped by the River Swale and the enclosed pastures rising on either side. This small settlement lies in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in a farming landscape structured by dry-stone walls, stone field barns and narrow lanes. Swaledale is one of the Dales’ most recognisable valleys: the Swale follows its floor while fells create the wider upland setting. Sheep farming remains central here, and the Swaledale sheep breed takes its name from the valley. Low Row forms part of a chain of hamlets between Reeth and the head of Swaledale, where vernacular stone buildings stand among hay meadows and grazing land.
