Perfectly situated to visit the superb waterfalls on the River Ure, the National Park Centre Information Advisers can also point you in the direction of other lovely walks in the area taking in the surrounding woods or heading up to the lovely villages of Carperby or Aysgarth.

The centre is a great starting point for anyone wanting to make the most of this beautiful area. There are interesting displays about the area, guide books and leaflets and of course, friendly staff to help you enjoy the National Park in just the way you want.

You can ask us about:

• Planning your visit
• Buying maps, books, souvenirs and clothing
• Leaflets and brochures
• Booking accommodation
• Hiring a GPS device or downloading an audio trail
• How to get to and around the area by public transport

Toilets are available in the car park and next to the Centre is the Coppice Café which serves a great selection of drinks and meals largely made with locally-sourced ingredients.

Please note: opening hours are subject to change – please call to confirm before setting out.
