Grassington is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into upper Wharfedale within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It sits beside the River Wharfe and is noted for its honey‑coloured stone buildings and cobbled market square, with dramatic limestone scars and moorland nearby, including the striking Kilnsey Crag.
Historically the locality grew from farming and 18th–19th century lead mining and lime‑burning; today the economy is driven by agriculture and tourism, with walkers, climbers and cavers using local routes. The village has a lively cultural life - an annual arts and music festival and a popular Dickensian Christmas event - and a strong community feel sustained by independent shops, pubs, galleries and regular local events that attract visitors from places such as Malham and Bolton Abbey.
