Hanlith is a very small civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, set in the upland landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It isn’t a nucleated village but a scattering of farms and a modest country house amid limestone pastures, drystone walls and quiet lanes, making it more of a rural landscape than a built-up settlement.
Locally the economy is dominated by traditional sheep and beef farming, with a few properties used as holiday accommodation; historic farmsteads and a small manor convey a long continuity of settlement. With a very small population there are few services and community life is linked to neighbouring villages, while its remoteness and access to Dales footpaths attract walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural escape.
