Wigglesworth is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales and within easy reach of the market town of Settle. The setting is classic Dales countryside - limestone fields, drystone walls and rolling pastures - so it appeals to walkers and anyone after a quiet rural base.
Traditionally agricultural, the local economy still leans on farming with the familiar pattern of stone cottages and farm buildings giving the place its character. A close-knit community atmosphere, occasional village events and proximity to scenic routes and nearby market services mean it combines rural tranquillity with reasonable access to shops and transport links.
