Our final day of this trip, so after another walk around Hawes and a little retail therapy, we left Hawes Farmers’ Aution Mart to explore a little further and drive across Buttertubs Pass.
Buttertubs pass is known as such because of the “buttertubs” which are on each side of the road at one point. Legend has it that they were used by local farmers who on returning to Swaledale from the market in Hawes, would store unsold butter there overnight as they provided a cool and safe place. This would save them the chore of carrying all the way back to the farm only to return with it on the next market day.
The Howgill Fells (Cumbria)
Having travelled to the end of the pass, is was time to turn towards home, so we returned the way we had come to Hawes, then along the A684 to the M6 motorway. Before reaching the motorway, we had a final stop to look at the Howgill Fells.
