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.

Park at the National Park centre car park and use the well signed paths to get to the Middle and Lower Falls. A nice walk downstream through the woods is the best way.
