Full disclosure; I have met the owners of this shop and like them personally. Nevertheless,…read morespeaking as objectively as possible, I do recommend their unique craftsmanship on its own merits. Their very creative shop engraves gorgeous crystal objects, everything from a set of personalized wine glasses, to any image you care to have deeply etched into a memorial glass, to impossibly delicate butterflies sculpted to form a crystal bowl. Words don't do their artful craft justice, I suggest you check out their web site to see samples of their work for yourself. For me, they created on lovely crystal a personalized memento of my trip through this astoundingly scenic area, as well as a deeply meaningful image of a loved one whom I had lost recently. I was very moved when I saw the results. I also know that they have created treasured heirlooms worthy of the royals, for whom they have created masterpieces on special occasions. Located discreetly in the back of the shop, there hangs a picture of The Queen watching as the master craftsman creates one of his pieces for her. I understand that crystal engraving at this level is a dying craft, so if you happen to be in this picturesque area you owe it to yourself to pay this little shop a visit.

Blackwell House is a well known example of an Arts and Craft house. It was designed by Baillie…read moreScott.Having asimilated the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris, Baillie Scott brought a new approach to the design of the house. He dismissed the victorian plan in favour of a modern open plan design, utilising space and light to form the large, yet comfortable and adaptable living spaces. Baillie Scott also designed every detail within the house. His use of traditional craft skills and simple enduring local materials is evident in the intricate carved oak panelling, stained glass, decorative plaster work, metalwork and fabric designs. This is lifted from the guide book. I'm sorry. The house has a pleasant cafe which you don't have to pay to get into. The house is open from 10.30 til 4.30 every day. From April to October they are open until 5pm. Entrance is £6.30 for Adults, £3.70 children and £16.80 for a family ticket.

Abracadabra is really more of a gift shop than a florist in that most of the interior of the shop…read more(and the window display) is full of gift items - ornaments, cuddly toys and the like. Mixed in amongst these are a few things for the garden. The strangest product they sell is the local beer from Dent Brewery in the neighbouring valley. Why the florist sells this and yet none of the local pubs or the off-licence do is a complete mystery to me! They do sell flowers of course. These are usually the traditional range - things such as carnations, chrysanthemums and roses, depending on the time of year, and you will find a selection in the buckets outside on the pavement.
