Welcome to Colsterdale

Colsterdale is a beautiful valley located in the heart of North Yorkshire. The valley is surrounded by rolling hills and is home to a variety of wildlife, including red grouse, curlew, and lapwing. The area is popular with hikers and walkers, who come to explore the many trails that wind through the valley. The valley is also home to several small villages, including Colsterdale, which is the largest settlement in the area.

One of the most popular attractions in Colsterdale is the Colsterdale Tower. The tower is a medieval ruin that dates back to the 14th century. It was once part of a larger castle complex, but today only the tower remains. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The tower is also a popular spot for picnics and is a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the valley.

Another popular attraction in Colsterdale is the River Burn. The river runs through the valley and is home to a variety of fish, including brown trout and grayling. The river is also a popular spot for kayaking and canoeing, and there are several companies that offer guided tours of the river. Visitors can also enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverbank, taking in the beautiful scenery and watching the wildlife that calls the river home.
