Sedbusk

[1] The hamlet is 1 mile (1.5 km) north of the town of Hawes across the River Ure.[2] Sedbusk is in the civil parish of High Abbotside along with Hardraw and Simonstone.[3] The name of the hamlet derives from the Old Norse Saetr buskr, which means 'the bush by the shieling'.[6] The hamlet sits in the shadow of Stags Fell (to the north) which was formerly a centre of quarrying for stone[7] and at one point even had a small colliery, though it is believed to have been only sourcing coal for lime burning.[8] Stone produced at Stag Fell was Yoredale Sandstone and whilst production ceased in the 1930s, the tunnels cut into the hillside are still there and are dangerous to enter.
