Burnsall sits in upper Wharfedale in North Yorkshire, tucked on the south bank of the River Wharfe a short drive from Grassington. The village is framed by classic limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, with a wide green, traditional stone cottages, a low stone bridge and the well‑used stepping stones across the river that make it popular with walkers and photographers.

Historically centred on its attractive medieval church of St Wilfrid, the community has long been shaped by hill farming and now combines agriculture with a steady flow of visitors exploring the dale. Local life revolves around village events and outdoor pursuits; narrow lanes and a compact settlement preserve a strong rural character while the Dales’ footpaths keep Burnsall on many walking itineraries.
