Located in the village of West Burton, Cauldron Falls are available for enjoyment by just about anyone - it's an easy walk right from the village. It is a beautiful spot - it was, in fact, one of the spots painted by Turner on his travels in the Dales.

Aysgarth Lower Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

It’s not too often that you can place yourself in an English Romantic painting. But when you stand here, admiring the crashing white waters of Aysgarth Lower Falls, you’re right in the heart of a 19th-century masterpiece.

When Romantic painter William Turner visited Aysgarth on July 28, 1816, to make illustrations for 'A General History of the County of York' by Thomas Dunham Whitaker, his main focus was the famous Aysgarth Falls. He sketched each of the falls from many angles, but it was the classic view and best-known fall, Lower Falls, that he chose to develop into a finished watercolour.

Aysgarth Middle Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

English Romantic painter William Turner visited Aysgarth on July 28, 1816, when making illustrations for 'A General History of the County of York' by Thomas Dunham Whitaker. As you stand there to admire the magnificent falls, watching the water crash into the river below with an almighty thunder, just imagine Turner stood in the exact spot more than 200 years ago doing exactly the same thing.

Aysgarth Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

The falls can get really busy with people mooching. Try and avoid weekends and holidays if this bothers you. Would recommend starting a walk away from the falls and adding them to the walk , then you can utilise the cafe

Aysgarth village

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled in delightful Wensleydale, Aysgarth is a classic Yorkshire Dales village. There's good food at the George & Dragon and the fancier Aysgarth Falls Hotel, as well as the option of Hamilton's Tearoom.

The village is most famous for the scenic Aysgarth Falls, where the River Ure cascades over several limestone steps. Down the years, the falls have attracted the likes of Wordsworth, Ruskin and Turner, as well as featuring in the classic Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves film.
