Over the years, I have documented the condition of Gayle Beck Lodge through photography. My first image was captured in July 2010, showcasing its state. However, my most recent photo, taken in June 2025, reveals a concerning decline in its condition. The lodge has suffered significantly due to the harsh winters characteristic of the Yorkshire Dales.
Gayle Beck Lodge is a ruined stone structure located on the B6255 road between Ribblehead and Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It was originally built as a small shooting hut, likely in the 19th century, where grouse shooting parties would take refreshments. The lodge is situated about 3 miles north of the junction with the B6479. The lodge has been allowed to fall into disrepair and is now considered derelict.
