Hawes, Market town in Richmondshire, England
Hawes sits at the head of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, surrounded by rolling hills and meadows at 850 feet above sea level.
The settlement received its market charter from King William III in 1699, transforming from a small farming community into a regional trading center.
The Dales Countryside Museum presents exhibitions of regional artifacts, traditional crafts, and agricultural implements that document Yorkshire rural life through centuries.
The town maintains a weekly market every Tuesday in the Market Hall, offering local produce, crafts, and goods from numerous independent vendors.
The Wensleydale Creamery produces traditional Yorkshire cheese using milk from local farms, continuing a cheese-making tradition that dates to 1150.
