The Cow'us

You'll notice throughout these walks all the fields barns, or 'cow'us (cow house) in the Swardle dialect. 
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority created the 'Every Barn Tells a Story; project as a way of celebrating the stories and history of the cowhouses of Muker parish. They worked with the Keld Resource Centre, local businesses and individual members of the local communtiy to record memories and share what they learned.  The project was funded with grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
