Middleham Attractions

The valley of the Ure is known as Wensleydale only above Jervaulx: and here too its finest scenery begins, with waterfalls and a series of charming little villages on the banks of the river. One of the most beautiful of these is Middleham, with racing stables.

Middleham is also home to a castle that was started in 1190 and now stands in ruin except for the keep, 13th century chapel and 14th century gatehouse.
