The civil parish centred on Kettlewell and Starbotton sits in Upper Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales, where the valley of the River Wharfe cuts through limestone scars, drystone walls and flower-rich meadows. It’s a popular base for walkers and cyclists, with a picturesque village green, stone cottages and old bridges that give the area a timeless upland character.
Locally the economy still leans on hill farming alongside tourism, and community life is marked by seasonal events such as the village agricultural show and the well-known scarecrow festival. Both places bear traces of an older lead‑mining and rural past, and Starbotton in particular remains a smaller, quieter hamlet reached by footpaths and narrow lanes, prized for its sense of remoteness and strong local community.
