Map of the UK

Dacre is a small rural village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, set amid rolling farmland on the northern fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. The parish is characterised by stone-built houses, dry-stone walls and scattered farmsteads, with countryside views and easy road links to the spa town of Harrogate and the cathedral city of Ripon.

Historically an agricultural community, village life centres on its long-established parish church and a handful of cottages and farms; the local economy remains rooted in farming alongside tourism and outdoor recreation. Conservation of the historic buildings and the tranquillity of the landscape is important locally, and the area attracts walkers and visitors seeking a quieter base for exploring the Dales and nearby market towns.
