Brook lamprey are some of the most primitive vertebrates alive today and they are spawning in our river here in Rosedale right now. They are jawless, having a round sucker-like mouth and small round gill openings on the sides of the head. They have two dorsal fins and are about 15cm long. They spawn in clean gravel beds. Wonder if they know how excited Rosedale folk are about the TDY! Updale Natural History Recorder

There they go over to the moors riding the first stage of the Tour de Yorkshire photo by Ena Dent of Craven Farm. Gary Verity and a team of top cycling journos passed though the village today, testing the route and enjoying the new road surfaces.
Keep It Clean – just what Les Barker has been doing for us here in Rosedale for years and today, Friday 6 February, was his last day on duty before retirement.
We wish Les all the very best for his retirement and send him our grateful thanks.
He says he will be back for the show this year so there will be a chance to buy him a pint or two then!
In the Yorkshire Post there is a lovely piece about the Walkers are Welcome Scheme .
We are proud to be part of this. Thank you to the numerous folks from our Rosedale community who freely give their time to make it happen every year.
“Gary Verity, chief executive of the region’s tourism body Welcome to Yorkshire, hailed another reason to be proud of the county.
“Yorkshire is famous for its warm welcome and generous hospitality, and for yet another Yorkshire town to receive Walkers Are Welcome status goes to show that the county’s famous hello remains very much part of its charm.
“And now with 25 towns and villages across the county recognised by the Walkers Are Welcome scheme, Yorkshire is reigning supreme as one of the nation’s top destinations for ramblers, amblers and hikers.”
Rosedale is fully Walkers are Welcome accredited.
