Carleton-in-Craven is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the edge of the low-lying Airedale with the limestone hills of the Yorkshire Dales rising not far to the north. Its position close to market towns such as Skipton and the meandering River Aire gives it a pleasant mix of valley scenery and easy access to popular walking country, making it appealing to both residents and visitors who want countryside within reach of town amenities.
Historically the village grew from agricultural roots and, like much of the area, was shaped by nearby textile and milling industries, but today it functions largely as a residential and commuter community with a strong local identity. Social life centres on village facilities and events, while the surrounding landscape and local heritage attract walkers and anyone interested in quieter, rural North Yorkshire living.
