Historical Description

Settle is a small, but well-built, market-town, once famous for its manufacture of, and trade in, leather, and hides; and a fair once a fortnight is still kept up for the sale of these articles, and fat cattle. Its situation with respect to the neighbouring country is rather low. The vale before it, through which the Ribble pursues its course, is however extensive and pleasant.

The town stands near the base of Castleberg rock, above-mentioned, which is said to rise nearly 300 feet above the tops of the houses. The inhabitants were some years since at the expense of cutting an easy winding path to the top of it, from whence there is a fine prospect of the vale below, and the long range of craggy hills on each hand.

On approaching Settle, in travelling from Skipton, quick-set hedges entirely disappear, and all the fields are enclosed with stone walls, laid without mortar; some of these being six feet high, renders them much less agreeable than they would be if the fences were lower and the prospects more open, though all the country to the north consists of a rude assemblage of mountains.

At High Hill, above Settle, are the remains of two Roman encampments; the first occupies a large tract of ground, in the middle of which is a noble spring surrounded with a bank of earth; the second is small, and of an oblong form. A branch of the Roman road passes over the moors by Sunderland, and in view of Craven Bank.
