Built in the 1830s at the same time as the main house, The Owlery at Aysgarth lies just off the main village road through Aysgarth making it both close to the amenities of the village, with its well-stocked licensed garage shop, pub and restaurant and tea shops all within walking distance, yet it remains quiet and secluded on a no-through road. The garden and paddock offer stunning views across the Wensleydale valley towards Swaledale.

This delightful property is just a half mile walk across fields to the beautiful Aysgarth Falls. This same footpath is the main route for walkers linking Bainbridge and Hawes. This stretch is part of the historic Wainwright Coast to Coast Walk and the popular Herriot Way through Wensleydale. There are many diverse walks accessible from the property and the surrounding villages, from a gentle stroll through sheep filled fields and woodland along the banks of the River Ure, to the more challenging walks to the top of the nearby landmark Penhill.

The wonderfully stocked delicatessen in nearby Leyburn and the creamery at Wensleydale are a food lover’s dream, as are the many pubs in and around Wensleydale which serve wonderful local produce. The location to Aysgarth village means the property is central to all the attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, including the market towns of Leyburn, Hawes and Masham, the famous Hardraw Force, and the Wensleydale community run steam train. Nearby historic Bolton Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was held for a time, offers an interesting day out. The wider Aysgarth area offered inspiration for JM Turner who painted landscapes here and still serves today inspiration to the many landscape artists attracted to the area each year.

For the more active, the local roads are excellent for the keen cyclist forming part of the annual Tour de Yorkshire through Wensleydale – with many routes of different levels of challenge cutting through the beautiful Yorkshire Dales villages and countryside. There is superb fishing available, the River Aire, River Wharf and in particular the River Ure are renowned for the stocks of grayling, trout and their spectacular riverbanks. There is a variety of horse-riding experiences offered at the nearby Wensleydale Equestrian in Bainbridge and at other centres in the Yorkshire Dales.
