This is one of the most dramatic drives/rides in the Dales. Buttertubs Pass winds its way through spectacular limestone scenery between Wensleydale and Swaledale. It's a route that never fails to impress. #YorshireDales #Buttertubs #ThursdayThoughts

Low cloud and mist fill the valley below, partially obscuring the landscape, while rolling green-brown hills stretch into the distance on either side. Above, patches of blue sky break through layers of white and grey cloud, creating a dramatic contrast between the sunlit uplands and the fog-filled valley.
