Nestled deep within the Yorkshire Dales the small village of Askrigg offers miles of unspoilt countryside from your doorstep. If you’re looking for fresh air and peace and quiet this is just the place for your next cottage holiday.
There are several brooks and a river which run both through and near the village. These babbling waterways also offer spectacular waterfalls within walking distance of Askrigg; including Mill Gill Force. There are also plenty of paths to explore through the woodland, and on a nice day, it’s worth packing a picnic so you can appreciate the area’s natural beauty over lunch. The village itself is also worth exploring and it has a long history including being once famous for excellent clockmaking.
