About trip
A circular walk from the National Park Centre at Aysgarth in Wensleydale taking in three flights of waterfalls. The waterfalls have been a popular attraction since the early 19th century, when Wordsworth used to visit. Turner and Ruskin have painted the falls and they were even the setting for a fight scene in the Hollywood film Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves. A woodland walk is then followed to head on to the ruins and gardens at Bolton Castle. There you can stop for refreshments before returning back to Aysgarth via Carperby.
