The monthly farmer's market offers a mouth watering variety of organic and homemade local produce. Located on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a beautiful walking area. Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous "Strid Walk" are down dale. A little further is the stylish town of Ilkley, overlooked by the renowned Ilkley Moor.
