Aysgarth Falls Yorkshire Dales National Park Visitor Centre

Amazing set of three waterfalls, all with access paths from the adjacent car park, which is inexpensive to use. For the best view of the top waterfall, it is worth crossing the bridge and taking photos from the other side (watching out for traffic). The best viewing area is for the middle cascade, as there is a viewing platform from below the falls. There is a bit of a walk to the lower falls, which can only be viewed from the top of the falls on the riverside stones, which may be wet and slippery. You have to walk across these for around 50 metres to return to the path to the car park. There was plenty of water when we visited in November. They are certainly worth visiting and spending some time there. You can visit the Visitor's Centre and cafe next to the car park.

This is the sort of place where every which way you look is another perfectly framed view just waiting to be captured. Perfect for an absolute amateur photographer like myself who needs all the help he can get. I would imagine it to be stunning at any time of year, but was particularly beautiful with the first of the autumn colour fringing the edges of the river. Another attraction of this is that it does not depend on good weather to be enjoyed. In fact a spell of wet weather before you arrive will leave the falls in full spate and positively enhance the experience. If you are getting down direct to the waters edge tread carefully. The rocks can be slippery when wet, particularly if you are watching the falls and not your feet.

This was the last country walk I had with my husband before he sadly died. We walked from West Burton on a cold crispy day and the sight of Aysgarth falls along with the thundering sound did not disappoint. We heard it before we saw it which increased the excitement and anticipation of the 2 of us in our 60's walking on to see 'the falls'. It was truly a special place. We recalled that on our previous visit years ago, how calm it had been in comparison. However, the sight and sound of 'the falls' was strangely calming on this most recent visit. We went to the shop at the carpark nearby and I bought a little sheep ornament. The sheep and the photos we took, I will treasure as memories of our last walk together. RIP my lovely husband X

Wonderful place to visit and explore. We did the short walks to see the 3 falls (all beautiful and a real sense of the power of nature), and also a route from the bottom of the main carpark which took us over fields to a charming village. We’ll definitely be back to walk the circular route to Bolton Castle. Highly recommend planning your trip to be there over lunch, the tearoom on the bridge was excellent!

Amazing little haven, Yorkshire really is a beautiful county. It has 3 falls, top middle bottom. The middle falls is basically just a viewing platform, but the top and bottom can be accessed for close up and engaging views. Lovely place. Worth a visit. Parking is cheaper at the main car park. The cafe before the hill down to the falls is more expensive. Paid £7 for 4 hrs. N ya can get same for up to full day in main car park at bottom between the falls.

Had a lovely day out with family. Beautiful spot for picnic and nice walks. Everyone enjoyed the day. Falls are picturesque and scenic. We went there after a long period of dry spell so not much water .. still it looked stunning. Less water has its own advantages as we were able to cross the river using stepping stones. I don’t think it would be possible if the river is full. Ample parking. Take your own food and water. I will definitely recommend this place for picnics and walks.

Lovely national park with some stunning waterfalls and walks. Best get there early though as the car park by the visitor centre gets very busy throughout the day during half terms or school hols. Nice little cafe in the visitors centre.

Amazing views. Falls Hotel is a great place to stay and eat. Wallace n Gromett lovers, defo go to Wensleydale Creamery, the visitor centre is Amazing too. The cheese is mmmmm-a-lisious. Not that far away, the picturesque scenery will blow you away.
