The best time to visit Appletreewick is in June, when the region’s historic hay meadows are in full bloom and the Grassington Music and Arts Festival comes to Wharfedale. The heather on the high moors is at its most glorious in September, when often-dry weather and smaller crowds make for excellent hiking. April and May are also entrancing for seeing birdlife and plantlife return to the Yorkshire Dales woods.
