On the way home from a recent weekend away in the Lake District we decided to stop for lunch in the pretty village of Clapham. This lovely Yorkshire village deserves a whole day out to appreciate it’s babbling beck, it’s little stone bridges and it’s wonderful walks and nature trails. We will return! For now, here are a few snaps I took on a brisk walk round. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. More posts about my Lake District trip coming soon. X

Wow! What a beautiful village. Never heard of it. Thanks for sharing. Seriously, you should be writing guide books.
There is actually a Yarn shop too next to the vintage shop but it was closed. Thought of you when I saw it.;) x
How cute is Miss Stella! I’ve just Googled Ingleborough Cave, and it looks fantastic! What a find! Definitely been put on the to visit list! Thanks for sharing your brisk walk! 🙂 x
She is very cute. Apparently she likes a cat nap in any vintage baskets she finds in the shop. There is a walk from the village to the caves which I will have to do sometime. X
Looks like a lovely village to visit, it’s great to see lots of little quirky shops to explore. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks I wish we had stopped longer!
Nice to see a place from childhood, living not far ,at langcliffe we often went to Clapham. At Christmas they have Santa in a cave , well worth a visit.
The Cave is on my to do list for sure now. 😉
Hi Shazza, New follower here:) When I saw part of the heading Clapham I immediately thought of London. What a wonderful surprise to see it is in Yorkshire. Loved all the photos especially with the gorgeous dog and cat. Linda (Australia)
Hi thanks for the follow Linda. 🙂 Yes its surprising that there is a Clapham in Yorkshire! I suspect Stella is a celeb in her village. Hugo the lab is a celeb in my house…and this blog. 🙂
Why have I never been here. This is a glorious Yorkshire village. Love the hedge dwellers and the vintage shop.
Its lovely in the Summer too. Lots of walks from the village. 🙂
I love Clapham, it’s such a beautiful little village. We wandered through and stopped at a tearoom en-route to Ingleborough cave last year, which is well worth a visit if you haven’t already been 🙂
No I still need to. Definitely this year. 🙂
A Lovely place! We started a walk from Clapham a few summers ago – we walked up to the winch meet just below Ingleborough and were winched down Gaping Gill, then called in at Ingleborough Cave on the way back!
Your so adventurous! Its great climbing country there. X
Lovely photos!
Thanks Charlotte.X
What a lovely village. I’d never heard of Clapham before – bet it looks pretty all year round. 🙂
Yes definitely going to visit again in a different season.:)
That teashop looks amazing. The Vintage store…I must visit! I love your photo of snowdrops! Fab post! 🙂
Aw thank you. I hope you get to visit. Stella the tabby cat is a wonderful supervisor in the shop. I saw her Saturday as well. 🙂
