AN ARTISITC celebration of the Pennine Way goes on show next week at the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes.
In the year the Yorkshire Dales National Park celebrates its 50th anniversary, the museum has teamed up with a group of Dales artists to produce an exhibition called Pennine Ways, highlighting the popular walking route using art, photography and sculpture.
The exhibition at the museum, which is owned by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, will run from February 28 to April 26.
It will be officially opened on Friday, February 27, at 7pm by Matt Neale, the authority’s area ranger for Upper Wensleydale.
Museum manager Fiona Rosher said: “The exhibition is a fascinating mix of original artefacts, archive material, unique artwork and sculpture connected with or inspired by the Pennine Way.
“We have contacted various organisations and local businesses such as National Trails, the Pennine Way Association, the Youth Hostel Association, Swaledale Mountain Rescue and the Tan Hill Inn.
“Everyone we have spoken to has been keen to contribute material because of the close connections they have with this renowned national trail.”
