Aysgarth Falls, Peak District

It was drizzly today, a little overcast, and also after yesterday's walk we wanted something a little less demanding. So heading off to Leyburn ... there was a small railway there and a chance of a ride.. I blame Bryon for all this transportation interests.

When we got there it was all very empty, and although trains were running they were only very dilapidated diesels, and also on a timetable we could not fathom.
So back to the shops ... after buying some cheese and buns in the market, and some new walking boots for me in a sale, we headed for a tea break .
In the break we saw that from the end of the railway they advertised a bus and a walk to see the Aysgarth falls. Seemed we could drive there and do the same thing.

Past the national trust centre and up the other side we parked in a pay car park, a little lunch in the back of the van then a short walk back and down to the upper falls .. no real viewing platform, but good views from the bridge and a craft shops centre in the old mill building. Intrigued by some paths we saw on the other side, we walked up towards the centre, and found a trail around the middle and lower falls ... with some much closer viewing platforms, and even access to the river.

Back the same way and past the centre there was a sign to the upper falls viewing spot, but there was a charge for this, so we settled for the bridge again.
A brief stop in the craft shop for trinkets and back to the van.
