Burley Woodhead has long been regarded as one of the area’s most sought after communities - the village enjoying a beautiful setting on the edge of Wharfedale from where there are commanding views towards the Vale of York and the surrounding moors. The village has its own popular pub whilst, a short drive down Moor Lane leads into Burley in Wharfedale where there are everyday local shops and other amenities along with a couple of primary schools.

The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley is just some 3.5 miles distant and is home to vibrant shopping with local stores rubbing shoulders with ‘high street’ brands. There is a broad choice of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms whilst other amenities include a local cinema and the popular Winter Gardens.
