SETTLE: The Folly at Settle is hosting three exhibitions.

The first includes 50 photographs celebrating the golden anniversary of the Forest of Bowland as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The pictures have been taken by photographers, residents and visitors and have been chosen to reflect and capture the Forest of Bowland's special sense of place and some of the characteristics of the wonderful area.

Also being staged is War Beckons, which focuses on the early stages of the First World War and the effects it had on the district.

It recalls the recruitment of volunteers and the commandeering of local horses following the outbreak of war, as well as some of the lesser-known stories, such as the Belgian refugees who were brought to Settle and the efforts of local people to raise money and support the troops.

Running alongside is a third exhibition, Journeys Through a Family Archive, which explores the story of the Riley family and their many involvements in the life of Settle and district over nearly 100 years.

All three exhibitions run until Sunday, November 2.

The Gallery on the Green has extended its current exhibition, showcasing the work of local photographers Tony and Carol Dilger.

Out of Africa and into The Dales features wildlife pictures, shot during safaris in South Africa and nearer to home, in the Dales.

The exhibition will now run until November 29. For more information, visit galleryonthegreen.org.uk or tonydilger.co.uk Linton Court Gallery has launched its autumn exhibition.
