One of the most popular villages in Wharfedale, Grassington lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and retains all its charm. Centred around a busy cobbled square is a selection of family owned shops offering quality food, clothing and gifts, cosy cafes, restaurants and places to stay.
It is a traditional working village and makes an excellent base for exploring Upper Wharfedale’s moorland and riverside trails. There is pony trekking nearby, fly-fishing on the River Wharfe, a bowling green, and an underground world of stalagmites and stalactites can be enjoyed by the whole family at the nearby show caves. Alternatively, there are potholing events for the more experienced caver organised by the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Art exhibitions and craft fairs are held regularly in a variety of venues, but a must for all visitors are the local festivals!
Things to do and see include, The Grassington Festival in the last two weeks of June, mixing poetry, comedy, music and crafts. The Upper Wharfedale Folk Museum, illustrating the village’s working heritage. Stump Cross Caverns with its amazing. Parceval Hall in Appletreewick offers woodland gardens, pools & streams and beautiful views. Nidderdale AONB, beautiful moorland scenery, lush green meadows, great walks and a huge array of activities and events. Picturesque Linton Falls on the River Wharfe, just a short walk from the town. Once a noisy industrial site, the remains of the brick turbine house can still be seen.
