Aysgill Force

Aysgill Force is a waterfall on Gayle Beck, situated just outside the village of Gayle on the outskirts of Hawes in Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales. The falls drop approximately 40 feet and are considered particularly impressive after heavy rainfall.

Although visitors cannot access the foot of the falls, a viewing platform provides a good vantage point. The waterfall is reached via footpaths from Gayle or as part of a circular walk starting from Hawes, covering roughly 2. 6 miles.

Despite its dramatic character, Aysgill Force remains relatively little known compared to other Yorkshire Dales waterfalls.
