Abbeystead

Abbeystead is at the confluence of two rivers, the Tarnbrook Wyre (pictured) and the Marshaw Wyre. They meet at Abbeystead and become the River Wyre.

the scene of a tragic disaster in 1984



The 'Shepherds' Church' at Over Wyresdale

The entrance to the church still has the pegs where the shepherds hung their crooks and cloaks
