Hi ho...

Went for a day out with my Son yesterday. We just fancied a trip out and basically followed impulse. From where we live we drove North


Up the M6 in the wilds of Cumbria and then East into North Yorkshire





Eventually arriving in Hawes at the Wensleydale Creamery, Yorkshire's own World of Cheese.




There is a museum at the creamery which traces the history of cheesemaking in the region. Fans of Wallace and Gromit will appreciate the importance of Wensleydale in the gamut of British Cheeses.




Part of the museum trail takes you through the factory complex and past the waggons continually delivering milk.




Inside the factory the visitor is able to watch the cheese making process.

After the factory visit we popped into the on-site shop where there is a complete range of Wensleydale products to try before you buy. I bought several including the 'oak smoked' (mmmmm...) before popping into the coffee shop for a brew and a cheese scone.
