Grassington Folk Museum
Overview
Opened by a local history society in 1979, this charming folk museum is located in two miners' cottages, which are as much a part of the area's history as any exhibit on display inside. Domestic artefacts are displayed alongside a variety of mining tools and equipment. There is also a collection of old cameras and other photographic gear. The nearest toilets are located in the National Park car park.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
