Muker Village | MORNING WALK In The Yorkshire Dales

If you enjoy this relaxing walk, please leave a comment..always interested in what you think of these walks and tours! Muker is a village on the western end of Swaledale in North Yorkshire, England, within the Yorkshire Dales. The earliest recorded evidence of occupation in and around Muker takes the form of a skeleton found, with flints, on Muker Common in the early 20th century. Details suggest a burial of Bronze Age date. The name of Muker is of Norse origin, derived from the Old Norse mjór akr meaning "the narrow newly cultivated field". The location at the meeting of the River Swale and the Straw Beck with plenty of good meadow land around is most likely why the Norse chose to settle here, giving them the opportunity to make a living out of mixed farming and pastoral farming. Agriculture continued to be the basis of economy in Muker until lead mining became more important during the late 18th century and the early 19th century. Muker was also a major centre for hand knitting during this period. The importance of these industries is reflected in the many cottages, workshops and other buildings constructed at the time. After knitting machines were invented, hand knitting ended the cottage industry, although it experienced a revival that started in the 1970s. 🥾 Check Out My Walk   / strava   ⭐Please Subscribe To Help My Channel https://bit.ly/3fLVjed ⭐ ⭐ See 'Playlists' Below - Subscribe To See More Villages, Countryside & Nature Walks 🥾 The Lake District Cumbria http://bitly.ws/LQIw Yorkshire Dales National Park https://bit.ly/3LulSAE English Villages https://bit.ly/3zb3054 Abandoned Houses & Ruins Walks https://bit.ly/3Ag8P1F Yorkshire County England https://bit.ly/3LCSBS4 Lancashire County England https://bit.ly/3wOHmAu Relaxing Forrest Walks https://bit.ly/3GjfxF4 Relaxing River & Canal Walks https://bit.ly/3z0sim7 Places & Destinations Walks https://bit.ly/3wLhmWW Relaxing Walks & Hikes https://bit.ly/3sTBTHM Walks With Relaxing Music https://bit.ly/3LHcuri If you enjoyed this village, you will like this beautiful village https://bit.ly/3yesJb5 🥾 Casual relaxed walks around the beautiful UK.
