Ramsgill is a small village in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south-east of Lofthouse, located near Gouthwaite Reservoir. It is chiefly known for the Yorke Arms, formerly a Michelin-starred restaurant on the village green which takes its name from the lords of the manor, the Yorke family, who once lived in nearby Gouthwaite Hall.[1][2] The Yorke Arms is now an event venue.[3]
The Church of St Mary the Virgin was built in 1842, near to the remains of a Grade II listed medieval chapel which was originally part of a large grange built by the monks of Byland Abbey.[2][4][5]
Ramsgill had a railway station on the Nidd Valley Light Railway, located in the hamlet of Bouthwaite.[6] It opened in 1907 and closed in 1930.[7]
The murderer Eugene Aram was born in Ramsgill.[2]
