Map of the UK

Farnhill is a small village in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Aire beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It occupies a pleasant spot in the Airedale corridor at the foot of the western Pennines, within easy reach of larger centres such as Keighley and Skipton.

The village retains a traditional feel of stone cottages, lanes and farmland; historically its life was shaped by agriculture and the mill economy of the Aire valley, and today many people commute to nearby towns while others enjoy outdoor pursuits along canal towpaths and local footpaths. A strong local community atmosphere and visible historic fabric in older buildings give Farnhill a quietly distinctive character.
