Conistone with Kilnsey sits in upper Wharfedale, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and comprises the tiny villages of Conistone and Kilnsey close to the River Wharfe and not far from Grassington. It’s a sparsely populated, working upland landscape where sheep farming still shapes the fields and lanes, while a steady trickle of walkers and visitors come for the scenery and peace.
The area is known for striking limestone features - the dramatic Kilnsey Crag that towers above the road and the unusual sunken valley of Conistone Dib - which make it popular for walking and climbing. There are echoes of past industry in small quarries and lime-burning sites, and the community remains rooted in farming traditions, marked each year by local agricultural shows and village gatherings.
