Askrigg and the surrounding area
Both cottages are situated in the heart of the village, moments walk away from various amenities including three lovely pubs, several cafes, a local store and a playground. The village itself is the epitome of the Yorkshire Dales. It was the setting for the popular ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ series and the views are idyllic. Whether it’s a quiet countryside getaway, a walking holiday, cycling trip or rural adventure - Askrigg is perfect!
Situated within the heart of Wensleydale, you’ll be in the perfect place to explore Wensleydale, Swaledale and the many beautiful villages in the area. Within a short drive, you can reach a number of beautiful spots, including the market town of Hawes which is home to Wensleydale creamery, Semerwater lake and Aysgarth falls.
In the village itself, there are lots of public footpaths of varying lengths but our personal favourite is a walk which starts five minutes from the cottages and takes you to Mill Gill waterfall, a hidden gem in an extremely secluded spot.
Just a few yards from each property is Askrigg's local store Sykes House, which sells local produce and essentials for your trip. In the bigger towns of Hawes and Leyburn, you'll find many shops, banks and other useful amenities.
