Aysgarth Lower Falls (South Bank)

Highlight • Waterfall

On the River Ure in Wensleydale you have the quaint village of Aysgarth, and from here you have access to Aysgarth Falls. The falls comprise a series of three waterfalls, Upper, Mid, and Lower. If you wish to see the falls on the south side of the river, then there is a good walk from Aysgarth via beautiful St. Oswalds Church.

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 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.

Swaledale Sheep Bench

Highlight • Rest Area

Eyecatching carving of a Swaledale sheep's head on the side of this bench. The Yorkshire Dales National Park has a number of volunteer carvers where skilled woodworkers produce carved posts, benches, trail markers and other wildlife‑themed sculptures. This is likely by David Grosvenor, who has carved multiple pieces for Freeholders’ Wood, Aysgarth Falls, and the surrounding paths.
