Keld

Outdoors & LandscapesNatureSwaledale
Susan Briggs· 1 minute
Have you heard of 'thin places'? For many, Keld is one. Not thin in the small sense, but so-called because it feels like there's no barrier between heaven and earth, a place where it's easy to connect with the spiritual atmosphere of the place.

Keld is special in many ways: its natural beauty and uplifting setting; the sense of community; and lovely, thoughtful facilities such as the Keld Resource Centre with its small and very informative museum, and the Keld Well-being Garden and Community Orchard. The community set up a Winter tearoom for walkers: Keld is a crossing point for many walks, including those by the waterfalls.

Perhaps its most special draw is the peace, and sense of not just being close to nature, but within nature, where you can rest and experience heaven on earth.
