Aysgarth Falls

Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls,[1] surrounded by woodland and farmland, carved out by the River Ure over an almost one-mile (two-kilometre) stretch on its descent to mid-Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales of England, near the village Aysgarth.

[5] The falls were created when meltwater from the Ice Age that had been held back by a terminal moraine spilled down over the area and eroded the boulder clay and the bedrock limestone underneath.

There is a visitors' centre with an exhibition, information, items for sale, a café, toilets and a pay-and-display car park.

[10] Wild flowers appear in the spring and summer, for example snowdrops in January and February, primroses in April and bluebells in May, and birds, squirrels and deer may also be seen.

The church has a medieval painted wooden screen rescued from the destroyed Jervaulx Abbey.
