Arthington is a small village and civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Leeds, West Yorkshire, set on the edge of the Wharfe valley close to the River Wharfe. It sits amid the rolling countryside of Wharfedale, with easy countryside access and views that lead towards the Yorkshire Dales, making it a quietly scenic spot not far from larger market towns.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the area still shows its rural character in stone houses and working farmland; it was served by a local railway station until the mid‑20th century and remains popular with walkers and people commuting into Leeds. The small, close‑knit community values its tranquillity and the mix of historic charm and recreational access to nearby Dales country.
