Place:Aysgarth, North Riding of Yorkshire, England

Aysgarth is since 1974 a civil parish and a village in the Richmondshire District of North Yorkshire, England. The village is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, about 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Richmond and 22.6 miles (36.4 km) west of the county town of Northallerton. In the UK census of 2011 it had a population of 178.

At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066, the manor was held by Cnut, son of Karli. Afterwards the manor was in the possession of Count Alan of Brittany, who granted lordship to Geoffrey of Swaffham. By the 13th century, the manor was in the hands of the Burgh family of Hackforth. The manor descended with the manor of Hackforth until 1480, at which time both were conveyed to the Crown in the person of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Some lands in the manor in the 13th century came into the hands of the lords of Middleham and then followed the descent of the manor of Thoralby.

According to a map found in GENUKI illustrating the ecclesiastical parishes of the North Riding of Yorkshire as they existed in the first half of the 19th century, Aysgarth was a very large parish covering the southwest corner of the North Riding. In 1866 a number of the townships and chapelries making up the ancient parish became civil parishes and in 1894 all were grouped under the Aysgarth Rural District. In the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, the rural district was abolished and Aysgarth became part of the Richmondshire District of the administrative county of North Yorkshire.
