I've seen a couple of these Herriot's pubs around Yorkshire (Skipton & this one in Hawes)--I'm wondering if James Herriot took his pen name from them, or if they're playing off of his popularity, or if there's no connection at all...

On Sunday we went out to the Wensleydale cheese factory in Hawes. It was a gorgeous drive up there--windy little roads with stone walls & sheep farms :) Hawes was really nice, too. The creamery had free samples of cheese and a really nice gift shop & cafe. The museum was small, but interesting, and it only cost 2.50 (and I definitely ate at least 2 quid worth of cheese!)
