Explore Aysgarth Falls with a Tramper

The Tramper at Aysgarth Falls

Freedom, History, and One of the Dales’ Most Iconic Landscapes

A visit to Aysgarth Falls is a must for anyone exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park—and thanks to the availability of a Tramper all-terrain wheelchair, this breathtaking natural attraction is now more accessible than ever.

Discover the falls with confidence

The Tramper is an all-terrain wheelchair designed for people with physical disabilities who want to fully enjoy outdoor adventures. Visitors can now borrow a Tramper directly from the Aysgarth Falls Visitor Centre, making it easier to explore the riverside paths, woodland scenery, and dramatic viewpoints with confidence and independence.

With the Tramper, visitors can travel to the Upper Falls and reach the Middle Falls viewing platform, which is wheelchair accessible. Its robust design handles uneven ground with ease, allowing you to focus on the sound, movement, and beauty of the water rather than the terrain under your wheels.

The Visitor Centre at Aysgarth Falls

A place shaped by nature and time

Aysgarth Falls is not a single waterfall, but a series of stepped cascades created as the River Ure flows over layers of limestone. Over thousands of years, the water has carved and sculpted the rock, creating wide, powerful drops that change dramatically with the seasons—thundering after heavy rain and calm yet mesmerising in drier months.

The falls have been a popular visitor destination since Victorian times, when day-trippers and artists travelled here to admire the scenery. That long-standing appeal continues today, with Aysgarth Falls remaining one of the most photographed waterfalls in the UK.

From legend to the silver screen

Aysgarth Falls is not only rich in natural history—it also has its moment of fame on screen. The falls featured in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner. Fans of the film may recognise the dramatic backdrop used during the story’s early scenes, adding a sense of cinematic magic to an already unforgettable landscape.
