Accessed through the ancient churchyard and only a stone’s throw from the centre of the village, this is an ideal location for that much-promised break in the country, with the added value of a thriving community on the doorstep.
Askrigg offers three pubs serving food, a bakery and deli, two tea rooms, a village shop and newsagents and a Post Office.
