We visit the beautiful English village of Gargrave in the Yorkshire Dales exploring things to do and checking whether it is worth visiting? We also discover the Roman heritage of Gargrave village including its rare intact Roman ford and walk along a section of the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

Only a few miles and short car journey away from Malham and Grassington, Gargrave could prove to be a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park. 

Gargrave also hosts the Leeds Liverpool canal with an aqueduct running over the River Aire and viaduct too! These are known as the Holme Bridge aqueduct and viaduct.

We also give information regarding the flea market and craft fair held at the Village Hall in Gargrave plus extra local events.

There is free parking available in Gargrave but paid car parks too, in case there are no free spots.
