C. Aysgarth Falls and SE 012888
Freeholders’ Wood
Aysgarth Falls is a series of cascading waterfalls
separated into three forces, Higher, Middle and
Lower. Higher Falls is the most vigorous of the
group whereas Middle Falls has the largest
single drop of around 2m. Lower Falls is in
the most serene setting.
Trail
The first 500m of this 1.5km footpath runs
through Freeholders’ Wood and has great
views of the Middle Falls. The surface here
is compact aggregate and the width of the
footpath is at least 100cm. All gates are fully
accessible and there are seating areas along
the route.
From here, a flight of seventy steps provide
access to the Lower Falls. Alternatively, the
footpath continues for a further 1km along
an unsurfaced grass route.
A further route can be followed from the start,
along a muddy track through the woodland.
