More about this scene

Aysgarth is a tidy little village in central Wensleydale carrying a name which gives away its Norse origins. The war memorial honouring the dead of the two World Wars is seen here in the centre. Aysgarth is perhaps best known for its spectacular series of waterfalls where the River Ure dashes over a series of shelves of limestone in the riverbed.
