From the location they could react to incursions from North of Hadrian's Wall, using the old Roman road to sally east or west before traversing northward across the countryside. In the period of late antiquity after Roman rule, Wigton was within the native British kingdom of Rheged. Probably of Anglian origin, Wigton was an established settlement in the Kingdom of Northumbria long before the Normans arrived in the area.

Bedale is a market town and civil parish in the district of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated 34 miles (55 km) north of Leeds, 26 miles (42 km) south-west of Middlesbrough and 7 miles (11 km) south-west of the county town of Northallerton. It was originally in Richmondshire and listed in the Domesday Book as part of Catterick wapentake, which was also known as Hangshire (so named from Hang Bank in Finghall and because of the many gallows used to execute marauding Scots); it was split again and Bedale remained in East Hang. Bedale Beck is a tributary of the River Swale, which forms one of the Yorkshire Dales, with its predominance of agriculture and its related small traditional trades, although tourism is increasingly important.
Before the Harrying of the North Bedale was held by Torpin (Thorfinn), a patronym retained by the infamous Dick Turpin. The parish church also dates from this time (as evidenced by its crypt), before significant remodelling. The original 9th century church escaped destruction in the Harrying of the North and was recorded in the Domesday Book. The recent discovery of the Bedale Hoard provides further evidence of high-status Anglo-Saxon and Viking age activity in the area. The town was recorded as Bedell or Bedhal and derives from 'Beda's Halh' which means the corner or place of Beda.
Bedale lies on the B6285 road that runs south and south east from Bedale and connects with the A6055 road at Burneston. The A684 road used to go through the town but a bypass was opened in August 2016 that means through traffic now avoids Leeming Bar, Aiskew and Bedale. The town is only 2 miles (3.2 km) west of the A1(M) at Leeming Bar via the A684 road or via the adjoining village of Aiskew.
Bedale has a railway station on the Wensleydale heritage railway. The station originally opened in 1855 and lasted almost a century before British Rail closed the station in April 1954. The station is actually in Aiskew as the traditional boundary between the two villages was Bedale Beck which the station lies east of. Work was initiated on making Bedale Beck navigable to barges down to the River Swale at Gatenby. Initial construction started in 1768 which resulted in an area at the south end of the town known as 'The Harbour'. The plan was abandoned in 1855 when the railway was opened, but the weir and some iron moorings still exist on the beck just south of the Bedale to Aiskew road bridge.
Existing historic buildings include a unique 18th-century Leech House used as an apothecary's store for leeches, an underground ice house used for preserving food and the 14th-century Grade I listed market cross. Bedale is home to a small museum, numerous Georgian buildings and a railway station on the Wensleydale Railway, which runs to Redmire via Leyburn. The Thorp Perrow Arboretum lies nearby, as do the villages of Burneston, Burrill, Cowling, Exelby and Firby.
The town has many local shops, a Co-op Food supermarket, a Tesco Express shop, pubs and eating places along its market place. It holds a market every Tuesday on the cobbles that line the market place, and there used to be a monthly market on a Sunday, but this ceased after the bypass opened and through traffic was moved away from the town. It also has a leisure centre with full gym, swimming pool and astroturf sports pitches. Bedale Athletic Sports Association provides football, cricket, hockey, squash and tennis. Big Sheep Little Cow Farm is a petting zoo adjacent to the local railway line and Bedale Beck.
Bedale Golf Club is on the northern edge of the town where the B6285 meets the A684 road to Leyburn. Bedale also has a brass band with a 25-year history of providing musical education and entertainment for the local community.

The Wigton Square Mile
In February 2011, Your Square Mile began a series of pilot workshops in 16 communities across the UK and Northern Ireland. The workshops were attended by people from all corners of their 'square mile' and included both community activists as well as people who had never been involved in their community before. Our aim was to encourage and support more people to get involved and start projects in their community.The pilot workshops have proved really useful in identifying the barriers that people face when trying to set up local community projects. These learnings have informed the development of Your Square Mile & the formation of the Mutual.
This is what happened at our workshop in Wigton, Cumbria

Living in the UK – Travel Thoughts
SUMMARY (Link with 25% off Trusted Housesitters below)
Seven months of our return to live in different areas of the UK have been edited to make this video. Surprisingly, the UK can be a very affordable country for travellers to stop off and base themselves before returning to their travels. As we are UK citizens we have no restrictions on our stay so nationals of other countries must check the regulations.
We started our return to the UK in March with a month housesit in Norbury, south London. The nearby markets offered good produce and a variety as big as most places we have been. Prices were generally more expensive than Lidls or Aldi but the quality was good and affordable. We then visited Brighton to see old friends before travelling to our next housesit in a village near Ipswich. From there it was on to Kirkbride, Cumbria in the north-west of England, where we visited an amazing field of bluebells in the Lake District. Silloth and Hadrian's Wall were also targeted destinations. Later, we headed to Cannock, where we looked after a dog and cat and stayed near a couple of my long-time friends. We then headed to Wales to meet with family and then took the train to Poulton, a village in the Costwolds where we took another housesit and explored the area. Afterwards it was another three hosuesits in London and Cheam, Surrey before returning to the Gower in Wales where we are currently residing.
