Sawley is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, sitting on the fringe of the Pennines and close to the border with Lancashire. The surrounding landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, dry stone walls and upland moor, with easy access to public footpaths and countryside walking that attract visitors seeking quieter rural scenery.
Historically the settlement grew as an agricultural community and retains a number of traditional stone houses and a parish church that reflect its past; traces of old field patterns and farmsteads are still visible. Agriculture remains important to the local economy, supplemented by a small number of commuters and rural visitors, and village life is typically centred on the hall and seasonal community events.
