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.

Disabled view point available for wheelchairs (kind of a better view from the top anyway!)

Hiking

Best seen from the main road bridge. Take care as there isn't really a space to spend too much time as it is a busy road.
