We live in a beautiful place that is sometimes easy to take for granted.

The Main Street

Askrigg is in the heart of Wensleydale. It is a small village which fell into the worldwide media spotlight when it became the location for filming All Creatures Great and Small, the TV series inspired by the stories of Yorkshire vet James Herriott. Skeldale House can be seen opposite the thirteenth century church.

Askrigg was also noted for hand knitting and clock making and the ancient bull-baiting ring is still set in the village square next to the market cross and stone pump.

The school has very close links with the local Church. We hope you enjoy these views of our village.
