Powells is a grocery shop in Sedbergh, the nearest town to Garsdale, around six miles west of the cottages. It has a good selection of groceries along with fruit and vegetables, and is a sensible first stop for provisions on the way into the dale. Most cottage guests are advised to bring groceries for the first day or two, given that the closest shops are six miles away, and Powells and the Spar are the two main options in Sedbergh for everyday provisions. Sedbergh itself also has a small weekly market on Wednesday mornings and summer artisan markets once a month; combine a shopping trip with the bookshops and the craft and gift shops on the high street, and maybe tea at one of the cafes, for a slower start to a holiday week.
Powells, Sedbergh
Powell's is a greengrocer on Main Street in Sedbergh, run by Martin Powell, selling British and imported fruit and vegetables, fresh salads and produce from local growers. It also supplies the catering trade and does prepared vegetables for caterers, so the produce turns over quickly and is fresh. It is exactly the shop you want in a small Dales town if you are self-catering and want to cook.
It sits at 52 Main Street, alongside the Black Bull and the Meat Hook butcher, so you can pick up fruit, veg and local meat in the same walk.
