The Folly – Museum of North Craven Life 2024

The museum has fascinating tales of the people and landscape of North Craven and the Ingleborough Dales and how they influenced every aspect of the area’s farming, transport and industrial history from the earliest times to the end of the 19th century. With detailed models of transport by pack-horse and an example of a temporary cabin of the sort used by the navvies on the Settle-Carlisle railway. Look at the wide range of local occupations, building styles and traditional ways of life in the western Dales.
