Askrigg cottages

If you love spectacular scenery and authentic village charm, Askrigg cottages offers the ultimate escape for anyone keen to uncover the picturesque rolling hillsides of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Whether you’re craving a romantic couple’s escape or a memory-making family break with loved ones, Askrigg is the perfect base to explore idyllic walks alongside the banks of the River Ure from the doorstep of your wonderful self-catering accommodation and enjoy some fabulous seasonal produce from an excellent selection of traditional pubs, tea rooms and craft shops. Famed as the home of the fictional Dales vet, James Herriot, Askrigg remains almost untouched by time, boasting several historic landmarks and cultural attractions, including St. Oswald’s Church and the Askrigg Heritage Centre.

Make the most of the charming village setting that surrounds your Yorkshire holiday cottage by exploring the many scenic country lanes and footpaths that carve through the village; Mill Gill Force on the edge of the village is a lovely woodland walk with views of waterfalls. Those wanting more of a challenge could walk further along the valley to Carperby, Castle Bolton and Redmire. Explore the rich heritage of the local area at the small market town of Hawes, home to the Wensleydale Creamery where you can watch the traditional cheese being made, as well as a great selection of independent shops and cafes.
