Aysgarth sits in upper Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into the rolling limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The parish is best known for the dramatic stepped cascades of Aysgarth Falls on the River Ure, a magnet for walkers, photographers and film crews thanks to its cinematic waterfalls.

Despite its small size the area has a strong rural identity: sheep and dairy farming underpin the local economy while tourism supports pubs, holiday lets and small shops. Historic features such as the Norman origins of St Andrew's Church and nearby strongholds like Bolton Castle give the parish a long social and architectural pedigree, with the market town of Leyburn providing services and events for the wider community.
