We are the Northallerton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting about a kilometre west of Aysgarth at the side of the A684, we cross a footbridge over the River Ure and then follow the route of the now dismantled Wensleydale Railway To Aysgarth High Force, then past Middle and Lower Forces. Leaving the riverside we then head in the direction of Bolton Castle as far as Kelder Well before turning right down to the stepping stones at Slapestone Wath. After crossing the river we head back upstream past Aysgarth Church, through the village and back down to the river back to the car park.
** IMPORTANT AMENDMENT ** (added 11/06/2025)
After recent heavy rain the River Ure is in spate. As a result the stepping stones are currently completely submerged. We will still visit all 3 Aysgarth falls but I am now intending to return via Castle Bolton & Carpeby instead of Slapestone Wath and Aysgath church. This will increase the total distabnce from 6.2 to 8.2 miles
The car park at Turn Hole is not very large so maximum car sharing is strongly advised
Booking essential at https://www.northallertonramblers.org.uk/walking/walks-programme.html
No dogs
Turn Hole car park on the A684 about 1 kilometre west of Aysgarth village
