Buttertubs Pass is a very spectacular high mountain road which leads across the moors from Muker and Thwaite in Swaledale to the hamlet of Hardraw (famous for the nearby waterfall of Hardraw Force) and Hawes in Wensleydale.
The pass is so called because near its summit the road passes by a group of fluted limestone potholes, which are known as the "Buttertubs" (pictured above).
