On Tuesdays, locals and visitors alike may browse the many kiosks in Settle's central plaza that sell anything from handmade jewellery to fresh produce. The Shambles, a historic three-story structure with stores on the first two floors and homes on the upper floors, and the Town Hall stand in the middle of the market place and dominate the area. Numerous eating and drinking establishments, as well as a public pool, can be found here. The Victoria Hall hosts a variety of events and performances throughout the year, including folk evenings. Some of the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring highland landscape in the country may be seen along the famed Settle-Carlisle Railway. Skipton and Malham, both in the Dales, are conveniently close. Other local natural features include Malham Cove and Gordale Scar. Settle is a convenient home base for exploring the Dales, Lake District, and Forest of Bowland, all of which are known for their beautiful scenery and many hiking opportunities.
