Welcome to Blackfoss Beck

Blackfoss Beck is a small river that flows through the North Yorkshire Moors National Park in England. The river is approximately 10 miles long and is a tributary of the River Esk. The river is known for its beautiful scenery and is a popular spot for fishing and hiking. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and brown trout.

The river flows through a number of small villages and hamlets, including Egton Bridge, Grosmont, and Sleights. These villages are popular with tourists and offer a range of accommodation options, including bed and breakfasts, holiday cottages, and campsites. The villages also have a number of pubs and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink after a day of exploring the area.

Blackfoss Beck is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the ruins of Grosmont Castle and the Grosmont Priory. The castle was built in the 13th century and was once a strategic stronghold for the English army. The priory was founded in the 12th century and was home to a community of Augustinian canons. Today, both sites are popular with visitors who are interested in history and architecture.
