About
Askrigg
Once a bustling market village of upper Wensleydale, Askrigg still reflects its history with stone flagged pavements leading to a cobbled market place centred by an ancient cross and overlooked by a 13th century church.
Compare the white cascades of nearby Mill Gill and Whitfield Gill Force to the local meandering of the river Ure before it too rushes to fall spectacularly at Aysgarth.
For the essentials and pleasantries of life, Askrigg offers three public houses, a general store, cafe, delicatessen, bakery, gym, tennis courts and a hair dressers.
Walk the many footpaths from the village or explore Wensleydale and visit Aysgarth Falls, Bolton Castle, Hawes, Leyburn to name just a few.
