Gargrave is a delightful village set astride the River Aire, approximately four miles northwest of Skipton, on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the famous Malham Cove. It boasts wide green riverbanks on which to sit and enjoy the river, watch the world go by or admire those brave enough to negotiate the two sets of stepping stones that cross the river. There are traces of Gargrave’s industrial past in mills now converted into dwellings, and an old mill race, known locally as the Damside. Further afield there is evidence of a Roman settlement. Three delightful greens nestle within the village boundary, giving an opportunity to wander leisurely and enjoy the rose covered cottages and views of the surrounding hills.
