Cracoe is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, sitting on limestone uplands at the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The village is built of local stone with a compact, rural feel and is overlooked by the scarps and moorland of Cracoe Fell, with the man-made Cracoe Reservoir and sweeping views towards the dales and surrounding valleys such as Wharfedale.
Historically it has been an agricultural community and that tradition still shapes village life, though tourism and country pursuits - walkers, cyclists and holiday lets - play an increasing role in the local economy. There’s a strong community spirit, simple local events and the kind of quiet, rural character that draws visitors from nearby market towns like Skipton looking for countryside scenery and easy access to the Dales.
