Thwaite,
towards the head of Swaledale, was the birthplace of two giants of photography -

Richard
and
Cherry Kearton

who became internationally renowned as wildlife observers They began in 1892 and three years later they compiled
“British Bird’s Nests”,
the first natural history textbook to be illustrated with authentic wildlife photographs.

The Keartons also developed a type of “hide” that is still in regular use.

Richard went on to become a renowned lecturer whilst Cherry, who was smitten with wanderlust, traveled the world and entertained millions with the wildlife films that he had shot in Africa.

The Kearton’s work popularised nature and contributed significantly to its preservation.

They remained in contact and often came to stay with friends and family in the Dale.
