Carleton is a small civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the agricultural fringe of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the market town of Skipton. The parish has a quiet, rural character of stone-built houses and farmsteads set among rolling fields and lanes, making it a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding dales and dry-stone-walled countryside.
Historically rooted in farming, the local economy still leans on agriculture while also seeing some commuting to nearby towns and a modest boost from visitors seeking rural walks and heritage. Social life is typical of a small northern village, centred on a village hall and pub events, with a strong sense of community and a number of older buildings reflecting the parish’s long local history.
