Askwith is a small village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, sitting on the rural fringe of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the border with West Yorkshire. It lies within easy reach of market towns such as Otley and Ilkley, surrounded by rolling farmland, stone-built houses and a network of lanes and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically agricultural, the parish retains a distinctly rural character with traditional farmsteads and older cottages; today the local economy is a mix of farming, leisure and people who commute into nearby centres like Leeds and Bradford. The small community benefits from its landscape setting and quiet village life, drawing visitors who enjoy the nearby moorland and reservoired valleys.
