The Dales Countryside Museum tells the story of the Yorkshire Dales landscape and people over the last 10,000 years. Stroll through the Time Tunnel to see unique exhibits from the Stone Age to Victorian times.

Climb aboard our static train and find out how much family life has changed in the Dales. Take a walk down the 'lead mine' and discover how the industries of the Dales, together with farming, have helped to shape this treasured landscape. Events, demonstrations of traditional crafts and changing exhibitions help to bring the Museum alive. Hands on, interactive exhibits make it fun for children. Museum incorporates Yorkshire Dales National Park and Tourist Information Centre.
