Finding beauty on your doorstep | Aysgarth Falls

This post is following on from my most recent post; finding my blog direction. I announced that I have a series of posts coming up about finding beauty on your doorstep. You do not always have to travel to the other side of the world to see new and beautiful things.

As I currently live in the north of England (pot by the time you are reading this). I do not live far from the beautiful national parks including the Yorkshire Dales, the North Yorkshire Moors, The Peak District nor the Lake District. They are all beautiful places! Recently, I took a weekend to the Yorkshire Dales and sandwiched in a trip to the Lake District too. It was such a nice weekend.

We stayed in Sedbergh, a place classed as Cumbria yet on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. On our drive there, we drove the whole width of the Yorkshire Dales so we got to see the bredth of beauty. We firstly stopped at Aysgarth Falls, which is in the area of Wensleydale (great for cheese lovers) and it was where the Robin Hood movie was filmed.

Once we arrived at the cottage, we went on a walk to explore the local area. In particular, we climbed a big hill and got some very scenic photos at the top!

The next day we went just out of the Dales to a place called Barbendale, yet it still looked like it was in the national park. Actually, the day we left on 'Yorkshire Day' it was announced that the Yorkshire Dales had been increased by 25% so perhaps this area was included in that region now.
