Bank Newton is a small civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales. The landscape is gently undulating farmland divided by traditional dry‑stone walls and dotted with old farmsteads; both the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal pass close by, giving the area a pleasant mix of riverside and canal-side scenery.
Historically agricultural, the local economy is still dominated by mixed farming, though some residents commute to nearby towns such as Skipton and Keighley. The canal attracts walkers and narrowboat traffic and there are a number of characterful historic buildings and bridges, so the parish combines quiet rural life with modest recreational tourism and a strong sense of local community.
