Skeldale House, Askrigg

Highlight • Settlement

The actual village name is Askrigg. It is a name of Norse origin which translates as Ash Ridge. Slightly elevated above the valley floor, Askrigg sits below the imposing Ellerkin Scar. The hill is even more impressive if you try to cycle up Moor Road (next to the Crown Inn) either to Muker (2.3km at 10%) or Low Row via Fleak Moss (3.0km at 10.5%).

Nappa Mill Irish Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

An interesting irish bridge over Newbiggin Beck here. The beck can sometimes be dry in the summer. There are great views of Nappa Scar from here and of Wensleydale in general.

Tip by

Nappa Hall

Highlight • Other

A gloriously preserved building from the medieval times, Nappa Hall was constructed by the Metcalfe family, cousins of the Cliffords of Skipton. A popular rest stop for nobility travelling across the Dales, Nappa Hall has slept Lady Anne Clifford, Sir Walter Raleigh, James I and Mary Queen of Scots, amongst others.

Heugh Lane Path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

After a good climb up from Askrigg across fields and through woods, you are rewarded with great views over the dale from the long, straight Heugh Lane path.

Low Straights Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Low Straights Lane is a green and beautiful walk between Whitfield Gill (west) and Moor Road (east) with absolutely incredible views of Wensleydale pretty much all the way. Idyllic, calming and soothing: if you're here, you are having a good day.

Tip by

8.10 km

Mill Gill Force

Highlight • River

A fine little waterfall, in fact one of the finest in Wensleydale. Mill Gill Force can be visited easily from picturesque Askrigg and combined with a stroll to Whitfield Gill Force just a little further up stream.

Mill Lane Meadow

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Nice footpath across a beautiful meadow towards Mill Gill Force
