A museum dedicated to the art of cheese-making in Wensleydale
See how Real Yorkshire Wensleydale has been made through the centuries.
Strolling through our unique museum is like taking a trip back in time, to when cheese-making evolved from a local product to the nationally loved icon of today. The old farmhouse kitchen, dairy and press room each tell their own fascinating stories, with authentic turn-of-the-century equipment on show.
Watch cheese-making at its best
From our cheese-making viewing gallery, you can watch a magical performance of cutting, stirring, pitching and salting unfold. Done with skilled hands, this is Real Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese-making ‘par excellence’.
Handcrafted, to a time-honoured recipe Using milk from local farms - where cows graze the sweet limestone meadows rich in wild flowers, herbs and grasses. Our cheese-making is done as it always has been, by hand. Using traditional methods pioneered here over many a decade, we carefully and lovingly create Real Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese before your eyes.
