Near Sedbusk Farm, looking across Hawes in Wensleydale towards Sleddale and Dodd Fell Hill.
I was inspired to find this spot because of map geekery. I'd seen an advert for Ordnance Survey that showed more or less this view, titled 'Hawes, Wensleydale' with an OS grid reference that, when I looked it up, was nowhere near Hawes. By studying the map I worked out where I thought the picture had been taken from and what the correct grid reference should have been on the advert, and as we were heading to Hawes felt it only right that I headed to this spot to check I was correct. I was. Take that, Ordnance Survey! For the record, it's SD882911.A sign of pedantry
