For those who wish to venture a little further afield, there are many sights and attractions a short drive away:
Aysgarth Falls
One of Wensleydale’s most famous natural beauty spots, where the river Ure runs over a series of dramatic limestone steps. Spectacular after periods of rain, summer or winter.
Hardraw Falls and Buttertubs

Malham Tarn
The highest lake in England, standing 377 metres above sea level, makes for quite a sight.
