East Morton is a small village in the metropolitan borough of Bradford, West Yorkshire, lying just to the east of Keighley on the edge of the Aire valley and the moorland of the South Pennines, with the Yorkshire Dales within easy reach. The village retains a largely rural feel with stone-built houses and lanes, giving a contrast of countryside character and convenient access to nearby towns.
Historically tied to the agricultural and 19th-century textile economy of the Keighley area, East Morton today is largely a residential and commuter community with a village hall, a local pub and school forming the social hub. Its proximity to heritage attractions such as the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and the surrounding walking country makes it attractive to visitors and locals who value quieter village living close to urban amenities.
