Aysgarth Falls, Yorkshire.

Aysgarth falls in the Yorkshire Dales are a stunning triple set of waterfalls which are on the river Ure. They are beautiful and the upper falls lovely place to go for a picnic as you can walk down to the river edge. They are also an ideal place to paddle, though the water is fast flowing and can in heavy rain be dangerous. At the right time of year can can see fish jumping up the falls. The upper falls were also used in the Kevin Costner film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, where he has a fight in middle of the river with Little John.
The middle and lower falls, which are a short walk though gorgeous woodland, from the upper falls, are also lovely though access is limited.
This is a definite must see place to go if in the area, it was recently voted one of the natural wonders of Britain.
