Welcome to Wharfedale

Wharfedale is one of the most visited of the Yorkshire Dales, its proximity to Bradford and Leeds making it the ideal escape for their inhabitants. The area that runs upriver from Addingham is known as upper Wharfedale, and it is this section that lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The dale is a typical glacial "U" shape with many limestone outcrops. There are many splendid towns and villages to visit in Upper Wharfedale including Grassington, Threshfeild, Conistone, Kilnsey, Kettlewell, Starbotton, Buckden, and Cray.

Please visit our accommodation pages for hotels, cottages, bed and breakfast available in this and other areas of the Yorkshire Dales.

Buckden Pike Memorial Cross
On Jan 30 1942, a crew of six Polish airmen took off from RAF Bramcote, Warwickshire in a Wellington Bomber. Without warning, they hit a bad snowstorm. Unknowingly travelling over Skipton, Yorkshire they continued, blindly heading towards the Dales into unforeseen danger! The pilot was tense - he could see nothing but a screen of white light in front of him.
Kilnsey Park
Kilnsey Park is located immediately beneath Kilnsey Crag and on the main road that goes between Kettlewell and Grassington (which is very close to where you will find Burnsall and Linton), and is just 1 mile away from Conistone which is also featured.
