At the Heart of the Village

Can you make a heart out of wool to decorate the Keld Countryside & Heritage Centre?

 

Twenty local businesses stepped up to the challenge and have produced hearts of all shapes, sizes & colours.

 

 

 

The hearts have been knitted, crocheted, woven, felted, stitched and prodded.  The wool has been plaited, pinned, wound and threaded in all manners of creativity.

The Keld Resource Centre and the local business community have come together to support the
Dales Tourism Network
  

 



 

 Look out for Happy Hearts in other places in and around Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales.  They can be found in the most unexpected places and are sure to make you smile.

 

  See DalesDiscoveries.com for more ideas on where to go, what to do and details of  the Yorkshire Dales Treasure Hunt.
