I've admired the work of photographers Debbie and Gray from Scenicview Gallery in Reeth for a long time. Their location means they're well placed to dash out and get the perfect shot of the stunning surrounding landscape when the light is just right. But I recently saw they'd taken some very different images that caught my attention. Pictures of beautiful sourdough loaves, croissants with layers and layers of buttery deliciousness enticed me to Reeth to find out if it all tasted as good as it looked.
Hannah and David set up the Two Dales Bakery in Reeth this year, swapping their previous jobs for a new life of baking and passion for food. One of the reasons their bread and pastries are so good is thanks to Colin who's worked as a pastry chef in leading hotels such as The Dorchester and in Michelin starred restaurants in London. There's an attractive outdoor and indoor eating area where you can enjoy the quiches, tarts, pastries, excellent coffee and other lunch time dishes such as soups.

So how are the bread and pastries that had enticed me there?
In a word, delicious. My husband had a tea cake and declared it the best he'd ever tasted so he bought some more for later, to go with the sausage rolls and quiches I'd spotted.
After a while I stopped listening to him telling me all the reasons why they're so good, and focused on finding a picnic spot so we could eat and enjoy the rest of the goodies.
