The waterfall at Harmby is accessed via one of two footpaths from the main road, near the top of Harmby Bank, across from the Pheasant Inn.[4]
Edward Baines, in his 1823 directory, lists the village as Harnby and gives the population as 194.[5]
This small community has few businesses; the largest are the Pheasant Inn and the Lower Wensleydale Caravan Club Site (caravan park).[6][7][8]
