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.

Ingleborough. Yorkshire Dales.

Ingleborough nature trail.

Fell Beck stream.

I have been to Ingleborough a few times, though for various reasons never made it to the summit. Ingleborough is the second highest mountain in the beautiful area of the Yorkshire Dales, and is one of the three peaks of Yorkshire. It is a lovely place to visit, even If like me you only go part of the way up. We started at Clapham and followed the the Ingleborough nature trail. This is a charming walk, which goes through a delightful wooded area, following a stream and travels steady up to Ingleborough show cave. Here you can visit the caves or just grab yourself an ice cream as you continue up. A bit further and you reach Trow Gill, which is a small ravine that is a little tricky to walk up, but has a beautiful views.

As you travel up the hill there are many caves and pothole to look at, some are many mile long and are only recommended to go in if with a trained party of cavers. One of these caves is Gaping Gill, a pothole which the stream Fell Beck falls into, creating a waterfall (the tallest unbroken waterfall in Britain) which falls into the main chamber. On certain days of the year the river is diverted by the local caving club and people (for a charge) can be winched down into the main chamber. This is a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it, the main chamber it floodlit and you can explore some of the entrances from the chamber. The best bit is being winched down the 105 metre shaft.

Unfortunately that is as far as I have venture up Ingleborough, I'm hoping to go back and try again and then I will be able to tell you what the summit look like.

Flamborough Head. East Yorkshire.

Flamborough head is a lovely place to go for a sunny afternoon out. The car park is at the top of the cliff and the beach is a short, but strenuous walk, which have loads of uneven steps, but is well worth the effort when you get to the bottom. The bay is small and stony, but there are plenty of nooks and crevices to look it and if you time it right with the tides you can get to a sea cave. I do advise anyone going to be aware of the high tide times, just encase!

Malham . Yorkshire Dales.

If you are ever in the Yorkshire Dales, Malham is a must see. It is beautiful English village, with delightful English pubs and quaint shops. There is a small stream running through the village, shallow enough for kid to paddle safely in. A short walk from the village is Malham Cove. Malham cove was once a impressive waterfall (think a smaller version of Niagara falls) the river which use to fall over the top, now appears from under the cliff of the cove (again plenty of places to paddle and rocks to climb on).

A mile (up hill) walk from the cove and you come to Malham Tarn. Malham Tarn is a small glacier lake, formed during the ice age. It is also the highest lake in England.
