Askrigg sits in the heart of Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, within the rolling limestone landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. The compact village is notable for its stone-built houses, a village green and the parish church of St Oswald's, all framed by drystone walls and pastureland.
Historically centred on farming, especially sheep and dairy, the local economy now mixes agriculture with tourism - walkers, National Park visitors and fans of the original TV series who recognise the village as the fictional Darrowby all help keep shops, pubs and tearooms busy; there are also conservation-minded local events and a strong sense of community rooted in rural traditions.
