Map of the UK

Farnhill is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, perched above the Aire valley and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It sits close to the neighbouring settlements of Kildwick and Cross Hills, with the larger towns of Keighley and Skipton within easy reach, giving the village a quiet, semi-rural feel while still being convenient for commuters.

The area is characterised by traditional stone cottages, rolling farmland and good walking countryside; historically the local economy was tied to agriculture and the textile trade that shaped the Aire valley, and today it blends longstanding village life with residents who work in nearby towns. Local landmarks and the neighbouring historic churches and bridges give the place a strong sense of history, and community activities tend to focus on village gatherings and outdoor pursuits.
