I live fairly close to Bentham, about 12 miles away in Horton-in-Riblesdale. Quite a few members of Settle Harriers, my running club, come from there and Bentham also have their own running club, the Bentham Beagles. The view from the Big Stone, on the moor just above Bentham, of the 3 Peaks of Yorkshire is a bobby dazzler. Its obviously the perfect position for access to Bowland Forest, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lakes. Settle nearby is lovely too. A couple of my running buddies there regularly run up Ingleborough and back from home, so if you take a little pinch of salt, you'll have access to a mountain from the front door
