Welcome to Birdforth Beck

Birdforth Beck is a small stream that flows through the North Yorkshire countryside. It is a tributary of the River Swale and is approximately 10 miles long. The beck starts near the village of Birdforth and flows through the villages of Thormanby and Carlton Husthwaite before joining the River Swale near Topcliffe. The beck is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular spot for walkers and anglers.

The beck is home to a variety of wildlife, including brown trout, grayling, and otters. The water quality is good, and the beck is well-maintained by local authorities and volunteers. The surrounding countryside is also home to a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, herons, and buzzards. The beck is a peaceful and tranquil spot, and visitors can enjoy the sounds of the flowing water and the birdsong.

The villages along the beck are small and picturesque, with traditional stone buildings and thatched cottages. The area is steeped in history, with evidence of Roman and Viking settlements in the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the local churches and historic buildings, or simply enjoy a leisurely walk along the beck. Birdforth Beck is a hidden gem in the North Yorkshire countryside, and a must-visit for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing day out.
