HUBBERHOLME, KETTLEWELL

In Dec. 2002, Derek Wrathall of Skipton sent a photo and info regarding Kettlewell:
Here is a copy of a photograph I took in August when we took our grandchildren to the scarecrow festival at Kettlewell. I took the children for a walk up the hillside and took the shot looking down on the village. The Scarecrow Festival is a recent innovation and if you go to the Kettlewell website , there is information about it and about the village.
