Located just north of Bedale, Crakehall Cricket Club play in the Nidderdale Cricket League. Their square is tiny, although cricket has been played on this village green for 160 years, overlooked by the impressive Crakehall House and Hall.
Once a year, you’ll see celebrities wheeled out when this ground is used for the annual Emmerdale charity cricket match, so it’s just as well the boundary is very short. I expect the tea is better than average on that day.
