Burley in Wharfedale area guide

What to expect

Burley in Wharfedale is the quintessential Yorkshire village, situated just 3 miles from Ilkley town centre and 13.5 miles from Leeds City centre. Located towards the top of the village, the train station provides regular links to Leeds, Bradford and London. The village itself features a wonderful blend of amenities from coffee shops, a local cooperative, library, doctors surgery and play park.

There are three primary schools all with excellent Ofsted ratings and the village is within the catchment area for Ilkley Grammar school. An outstanding selection of well-run sports clubs includes the Burley in Wharfedale cricket club, which is proud to have been the foundation for England Cricket’s Harry Brook.

With the backdrop of the Moors and the River Wharfe being a prominent feature, it really is a fabulous setting for walks, adventure and raising a family.
