Map of the UK

Kildwick is a small civil parish in the district of Craven, tucked into the Aire valley of North Yorkshire beside the River Aire. Its setting by the water and close to main roads gives it a rural‑fringe feel while keeping market towns such as Skipton and Keighley within easy reach.

The parish is notable for its long‑standing church and a scattering of stone buildings that hint at medieval and later local industry; historically the area was shaped by nearby canal and rail links and the textile economy, and today combines farming with commuter households and a quiet village community that attracts walkers and people seeking countryside close to town services.
