The Temple Folly

About this property

The Temple Folly is a magical, fairytale, romantic, rural retreat which is perfect for those seeking accommodation in a secluded location, set amongst the stunning Yorkshire Dales in the heart of Wensleydale. An 18th century Grade II listed building which evokes originality and charm with its octagonal tower shape. The Folly is privileged to have stunning, panoramic views across to Bolton Castle, which is awe-inspiring to gaze upon. The nearest village is Aysgarth which is one and a half miles away, and here you can see the outstanding triple flight of waterfalls. The upper fall was featured in the film 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves'.

The accommodation offers stunning views from every window, and the countryside is perfect for walkers of all types, with intriguing trails and discoveries to be found. Not to mention, the pubs and restaurants you will find along the way which offer real ales and traditional English meals. Your stay with us will be peaceful as you take part in activities at your own leisure. If you are a lover of fishing, why not arrange fly fishing on the River Ure. You will find it hard to imagine a more beautiful and relaxing place to experience fishing. For something a little different "The Forbidden Corner" at Tupgill Park is only 15 minutes drive away.
