 Grassington United Kingdom - Wharfedale and tributary dales
Wharfedale is certainly one of the longest and most imposing of all the dales in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Grassington is the site of a National Park Information Centre.
The road leaves the river at the tiny village of Halton Gill, though it’s a good walk to follow it even further, and pursues a scenic route to Stainforth on the Ribble, while a truly splendid tortuous little road, once involving much opening of gates, leads from Arncliffe to Malham.
[Separate report] Grassington itself, though very pretty and a place for starting good walks [favourites] is perhaps something of a tourist trap now but nearby Grass Wood is a botanists’ Paradise and the little village of Linton with its Youth Hostel is very attractive and hardly spoilt.

 Grassington Village Centre
Grassington is one of many charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales and is the focal point of Upper Wharfedale.
More recently in the Yorkshire Dales dumps of old workings have been reworked for their gangue minerals.  Gangue minerals were traditionally considered waste products.  Modern uses for fluorite (as furnace flux), and barite as an additive to drilling mud, have generated this recent interest.
The 10 years between 1750 and 1760 were perhaps the busiest and most profitable time for the miners on Grassington Moor.  It is thought that up to 150 men were involved in mining activities of one kind or another.

 Grassington Branch   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When the Midland built the Grassington Branch from Embsay Junction, their intention was to carry on right through to Wensleydale to link the North Eastern's cross country line from Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle to Northallerton on the East Coast main line.
However, the branch never got further than Grassington (that is until Bradford M.R.C. got involved!), so here is the Grassington Branch Extension as it might have been in the late 50's to early 60's.
As for the extension northwards, the line on leaving the station (which was the terminus) crosses the main road between Threshfield and Grassington on the level, and passes by the well-known Baxter's Confectioners shop.
