With an intriguing Norman
church and an old three-arched bridge, this Dales
village is within walking distance of majestic
views over the rolling hills of picturesque
Swaledale.
During the Middle Ages the
dead were brought in wicker biers to Grinton from
all parts of the dale to be laid to rest at its
large church known as the ‘Cathedral of the
Dales’.
Nearby stands the ruin of 12th century Marrick
Priory, a former house for Benedictine nuns.
