West Tanfield is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into the valley of the River Ure on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. It retains a strong historic character with stone-built houses, a compact medieval street pattern and several listed buildings that reflect its long farming past.
Surrounded by agricultural land, the local economy is still largely rural, supplemented by small businesses and a modest tourism trade for walkers and people seeking a quiet base to explore the wider county. Social life centres on the village hall, the parish church and seasonal events, giving West Tanfield a close-knit, village-community feel.
