Aysgarth Middle Force

Aysgarth Middle Force is the central stage of Aysgarth Falls, a triple-flight series of waterfalls carved by the River Ure across an almost one-mile stretch through woodland and farmland in Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The falls — divided into Upper Force, Middle Force, and Lower Force — tumble over broad, stepped limestone shelves, and are most dramatic after heavy rainfall when thousands of gallons cascade down the sequence.

The site is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A well-maintained path runs along the northern bank of the River Ure, linking all three stages in a walk of roughly 1. 3 miles.

The falls have drawn admirers for over two centuries, including Wordsworth and Turner, and later featured in the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves .
