The property

A delightful ground floor apartment, set within a Grade II listed former mill, nestling alongside the River Aire in the Dales village of Airton.

2 Riverside Walk is an apartment that has been converted to a good standard and is situated in a beautiful location, with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the River Aire, as it meanders its way through the Dale.

The accommodation is set out over the ground floor, with an entrance hall at ground level.

Entering the apartment, you will find a charming open-plan living room with a kitchen, dining and living spaces boasting lovely furnishings and views across the river to the surrounding meadows.

There are two bedrooms offering a flexible sleeping arrangement for both families and groups of couples, served by two modern bathrooms.

The former mill is set in lovely, large communal grounds, which include a parking area, formal gardens, a drying area and access to 'Frank's Land', a beautiful riverside wild garden.

You can listen to the sound of the river from the open kitchen door.

There is approximately 800 yards of river frontage with fishing rights for two rods.

There are plenty of walking facilities from the door.

The Malham Spectacular encompassing Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss was voted number 3 in ITVs Britains 100 Favourite walks and is also fully featured in Julia Bradburys TV series Best walks with a View (this can be viewed on the Sky Box in the apartment).

This 31/2 mile walk can be added to a lovely riverside stroll of approximately 2 miles directly from the property along the Pennine Way which passes in front of the property.

A personally customised 1:25000 OS explorer map, centred on the apartment, is supplied for guests use.

This Airton self-catering apartment is a beautiful, peaceful base for exploring this wild and fascinating area.

Where you’ll be staying

AIRTON

Malham 2.5 miles; Gargrave 4 miles; Skipton 8 miles; Settle 6 miles.

The picturesque Dales village of Airton is situated in beautiful Malhamdale amidst superb open limestone countryside. The village was known as Airtone in the Domesday Book, and was originally a Quaker village. There is still a Quaker meeting house, along with a squatter's cottage on the village green and a Gade 2 listed old mill on the River Aire. Airton boasts a popular farm shop and tea room at Town End Farm, which is renowned for selling excellent local produce. Airton is a great starting point for walkers, with a route along the Pennine Way into Malhamdale, or you may wish to walk from Gargrave to Malham, via Kirkby Malham, where you will find an historic parish church and village inn. More energetic walkers should explore Calton over Calton Moor to Weets Top and Gordale, or eastwards towards Hetton. Nearby Malham is a magnet for visitors to the Dales who come to see Malham Cove, one of Britain's most impressive natural features. The Cove consists of a natural cavern or 'amphitheatre' of limestone rock stretching 75 metres in height and 300 metres around the perimeter. A steep walk up man-made steps is rewarded with a superb view across moors and limestone pavements to Malham Tarn - the Pennines' highest natural lake. Airton is a wonderful central location with Skipton, Settle and Grassington all within easy reach of this Yorkshire Dales village.
