The actual village name is Askrigg. It is a name of Norse origin which translates as Ash Ridge. Slightly elevated above the valley floor, Askrigg sits below the imposing Ellerkin Scar. The hill is even more impressive if you try to cycle up Moor Road (next to the Crown Inn) either to Muker (2.3km at 10%) or Low Row via Fleak Moss (3.0km at 10.5%).

Cringley House is a Grade II-listed 19th-century building in the charming village of Askrigg. It's most famous for its role as Skeldale House, the setting for the Darrowby veterinary surgery in the BBC's TV series All Creatures Great and Small. The series was based on the James Herriot books by James Alfie Wight, who lived and worked in the area. The real Skeldale House, where Wight actually practised, is in Thirsk.
