The National Park Visitor Centre is based on the edge of the lovely town of Grassington in the heart of Wharfedale. There is a large car park as well a a large coach park and toilets (a small charge applies), including a Radar toilet. There is also a picnic area and recyling facilities. There is also an electric car charger point in the car park.

A short walk takes you into the village centre, or you can walk down to the River Wharfe, see Linton Falls and enjoy a walk alongside the river. The National Park Visitor Centre Information Advisers can also point you in the direction of other lovely walks in the area.
