Spacious Apartment in a grade 2 listed building dating back to 1697 overlooking the town square in the centre of the historic town of Settle. (www.Settle.org.uk) There is a good selection of shops, restuarants and hotels within walking distance of the apartment. The famous Settle to Carslisle railway is just a 10 minute walk away (see www.settle-carlisle.co.uk) Settle is less than one hours drive from the Lake District and on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales see (www.yorkshiredales.org) Spectacular limestone scenery provides a back to Settle which was granted a charter in the 13th century to hold a market every Tuesday which is still held in the market square. The town sits in the Ribble Valley a perfect base for exploring the area on foot, car or cycle. Good public transport

I am a very active pensioner who become a widower 4 months after I retired in 1993. Since 1995 I have travelled extensively much of it by cycle. During 96 and 97 I enjoyed home exchange experience (with Green Theme) in Canada and Australia and still keep in touch with most of those exchangees. My partner Dorothy a widow (we met 3 years ago) enjoys long distance walking so a slight change in my lifestyle has now arisen and a very good excuse to relocate to Yorkshire the largest and most beautiful county in the UK. We like to spend quality time in a warmer climate during the UK winter (South Africa early 2008) and my apartment in Settle is free anytime of the year but May to September is a good time to visit.
