Elslack is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting close to the Lancashire border and a short drive from the market town of Skipton. It occupies rolling farmland beneath the lower slopes of the Pennines and lies on the line of an old Roman road that once linked Ribchester and Ilkley.
For such a modest place it has notable historic interest - visible earthworks mark the site of a Roman fort - while the built environment is typically stone-built farmhouses and cottages. The local economy is largely agricultural with some commuters to nearby towns, and village life centres on countryside recreation, walking and small-scale community activity.
