Askrigg, Yorkshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A small village in Upper Wensleydale, in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Askrigg is famous for its association with fictional vet James Herriot. Askrigg played the part of Darrowby in the television series All Creatures Great and Small. The parish church of St Oswald dates to 1488 and is built in Perpendicular Gothic style. Nearby is Nappa Hall, a 15th century fortified manor that was used to imprison Mary Queen of Scotts. The cobbled market place has an iron bull-ring, where bulls were 'baited' (i.e. set upon by dogs) in the 17th and 18th centuries.
