About Sleights
- Sleights is one of the larger villages in the Esk Valley, with a range of local shops, a primary school, and community facilities that make it a self-sufficient community.

- Falling Foss, a waterfall in a wooded gorge a few miles south of Sleights, is one of the finest in the North York Moors. The waterfall is reached by a walk through ancient woodland and is at its most impressive after heavy rain. The gorge is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is one of the most popular walking destinations in the area.
