Walk Description
We leave the Yorkshire Dales National Park Centre car park and head down the much-photographed walled Sedber Lane to reach the impressive Linton Falls and weir, which can be viewed from the footbridge that crosses them or from the riverside bank a little downstream.
We then head on along the picturesque riverside path past a second weir before passing by Grassington Bridge.
Continuing upstream along the river Wharfe, we walk past Ghaistrill’s Strid, where the Wharfe narrows, creating a fast-flowing section of the river after heavy rain. We then walk through Lower Grass Wood before a short road section brings us to Grass Wood.
We follow the gravel track through the delightful woods, full of flora and fauna in the spring, summer and autumn, and then at the four-way signpost, there is an optional short detour to the ruins of Fort Gregory.
From Grass Wood, we pass out onto Cove Lane, which heads back into Grassington. On reaching Grassington centre, we wander through the main street and square past the quaint mix of eclectic shops, cafes and pubs, many of which may look familiar to you if you are a fan of All Creatures Great and Small, as Grassington is the home of the fictional town of Darrowby.

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoying your videos 🙂 Grassington is a lovely place, one of our favourites. This is a lovely walk around the waterfalls and there are plenty of places to get a coffee in Grassington after the walk.

[@walks4all]

Glad you are enjoying the videos. Hopefully when this weather improves, there will be lots more to come.

[@traceywesson9839]

My favourite walk. Usually go the other way round but will do that way next time.

[@walks4all]

It is a lovely walk. I’m the opposite though - I’ve done it many times but never in the other direction…

[@Wanderer-vx9sf]

Another great video - never visited Grassington but it is on the do to list now.

[@walks4all]

Thanks 👍 There are quite a few other walks around Grassington that I’ll hopefully film shortly…
