St John the Baptist Church, Ulpha

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of St John the Baptist at Ulpha has its roots dating back to at least the 13th Century.

Constructed in the typical dales church style, it is made of local stone, features clear glass windows, and houses two bells in a bell turret at the west end.

There's a bench outside for you to take a break and enjoy the beautiful views.
