Askrigg village

Highlight • Religious Site

Askrigg is a beautiful little historic village and a real treat to hike through, as it has one long main street that's lined with houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. Very quaint, with two pubs, tea rooms, a bakery and a little shop, as well as few B&Bs.

Aysgarth Lower Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

It’s not too often that you can place yourself in an English Romantic painting. But when you stand here, admiring the crashing white waters of Aysgarth Lower Falls, you’re right in the heart of a 19th-century masterpiece.

When Romantic painter William Turner visited Aysgarth on July 28, 1816, to make illustrations for 'A General History of the County of York' by Thomas Dunham Whitaker, his main focus was the famous Aysgarth Falls. He sketched each of the falls from many angles, but it was the classic view and best-known fall, Lower Falls, that he chose to develop into a finished watercolour.

Aysgarth Middle Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

English Romantic painter William Turner visited Aysgarth on July 28, 1816, when making illustrations for 'A General History of the County of York' by Thomas Dunham Whitaker. As you stand there to admire the magnificent falls, watching the water crash into the river below with an almighty thunder, just imagine Turner stood in the exact spot more than 200 years ago doing exactly the same thing.

Aysgarth Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

The falls can get really busy with people mooching. Try and avoid weekends and holidays if this bothers you. Would recommend starting a walk away from the falls and adding them to the walk , then you can utilise the cafe

Aysgarth Upper Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Aysgarth Falls is a spellbinding stretch of water in Lower Wensleydale that drops 98 feet (30 m). Best known for its triple flight of falls sculpted by the River Ure, the upper falls are usually the first ones you will encounter when visiting the area. Much photographed, painted and admired through the ages, they will certainly take your breath away.
