Not the most glamorous announcement we'll ever make, but definitely one of the most useful, and we're flushed with pride to share the results 😄

Our toilets at Aysgarth Falls National Park Visitor Centre have been refurbished, helping to make your visit even more comfortable and enjoyable 🚻

With stunning autumn colours throughout Wensleydale, now is a great time to explore the area. The toilets and car park are open 24 hours a day, while the Visitor Centre and café are open on weekends and during school holidays.

When your apps aren't working there's only one thing for it… head outside for a spot of lunch, a coffee or a stroll! 🥾🌿

And what a lovely day for it! Fresh air, beautiful views and a chance to switch off from the screens for a bit. Sometimes the best days are the unplanned ones! ☀️😊

After the new moon on Monday, the Northern Taurid meteor shower reaches its peak at around midnight tonight! ✨

The Taurid meteor showers are known for producing 'fireballs' made from debris that can sometimes be brighter than Venus! 💫

✨Did you spot any meteors? Tag Yorkshire Dales National Park and share your stargazing adventures with us!

How many pubs do you know that have a world famous waterfall behind it? 🤔

Parts of the Green Dragon at Hardraw. date back to the 13th century, making it one of the oldest inns in the Dales.

As our six sessions with Young Rangers in School come to an end, we return to where it all began – Grass Wood!

The YRIS group helped design their final session, revisiting favourite activities from the first session and adding some new ones. It’s safe to say that hammocks were a firm favourite! We presented the group with their Young Ranger Award certificates and celebrated everything they have achieved and learned over the past few weeks.

Thank you to everyone at the National Park Authority and partner organisations for providing such great experiences - memories we hope will last a lifetime.

Thanks to the collective efforts of farmers, businesses, community groups, local authorities, charities and others working across the Dales, progress is being made towards a greener, more resilient and more vibrant National Park. For example, in the last 12-months:

🚜 £1.5 million awarded to farm businesses through the Farming in Protected Landscapes grant programme
💚 Initial restoration completed on a further 2,275 hectares of damaged peatland through the Yorkshire Peat Partnership
🌳 40 km of hedgerow created or restored since 2022
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 More than 120 community groups supported through activities, training and partnership projects and outdoor learning opportunities enabling over 6,000 young people to connect with nature.

Working together with nature to build a resilient future. Our National Parks are part of the answer.
