Wensleydale offers web video

The Wensleydale Creamery at Hawes has commissioned a web video to support the local tourist industry with the objective of generating more visitors to the area.

The business, home of Real Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese, has commissioned a web video of Wensleydale’s top sights and attractions which it is providing free to local hotels and tourist attractions to upload on their websites.

The short tourist film shows Wensleydale, a haven for walkers and holidaymakers from this country and further afield, in all its glory.

Attractions featured include Askrigg, where the popular TV series All Creatures Great and Small was filmed, the picturesque market town of Hawes, sweeping shots of the breathtaking countryside, historic Castle Bolton, welcoming tearooms, the Wensleydale Creamery’s cheese-making tour and museum, Aysgarth Falls, and traditional crafts such as rope making.

This web video will allow people to see the dale’s highlights when deciding where to book a break.
