Welcome to Cock Beck

Cock Beck is a small stream that runs through the North Yorkshire countryside. It is a tributary of the River Wharfe and is approximately 10 miles long. The beck starts in the village of Askwith and flows through the towns of Otley and Pool-in-Wharfedale before joining the River Wharfe near Harewood House. The beck is a popular spot for walkers and anglers, with many footpaths and fishing spots along its length.

The name Cock Beck is thought to come from the Old English word "cocc" which means "rooster" or "cock". It is believed that the beck was named after a local landowner who had a rooster as his emblem. The beck has played an important role in the history of the area, with evidence of human settlement along its banks dating back to the Bronze Age. In the 19th century, the beck was used to power several mills in the area, including a paper mill and a corn mill.

Today, Cock Beck is a peaceful and picturesque spot, with clear water and a variety of wildlife. The beck is home to brown trout, grayling, and other fish species, making it a popular spot for anglers. The surrounding countryside is also home to a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, herons, and ducks. The beck is a popular spot for walkers, with several footpaths and trails running alongside it. Whether you're looking for a peaceful stroll or a day of fishing, Cock Beck is a beautiful spot to visit in North Yorkshire.
