The village and civil parish of Broughton lies in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, on the southern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales. It’s a compact, stone-built settlement set among drystone walls and grazing pasture, reflecting a long agricultural history centred on sheep and mixed farming, with many residents also commuting to the nearby market town of Skipton.
Broughton retains a quiet, close-knit character with historic touches such as the nearby country seat Broughton Hall and a traditional parish church, and it draws walkers and garden visitors who use the lanes and public footpaths into the dales. Community life revolves around village events and the parish hall, while good road links make services and shops in Skipton easily accessible.
