PRINCE Charles visited Settle today during a visit to Yorkshire.
The Prince of Wales visited The Courtyard, a restored farmstead along the A65 at Settle which is home to local businesses.
The royal visit coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Courtyard, which resulted from the renovation of a redundant set of barns.

The opening of The Courtyard created 37 new jobs.
