Askwith village enjoys a slightly elevated position on the side of the Wharfe Valley – a location which provides a wonderful rural living environment with good accessibility to the nearby towns of Otley and Ilkley. The latter in particular is home to a first class shopping environment, comprehensive sporting amenities and a busy social round – there is also a ‘metro’ railway station which provides regular services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, with frequent onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross. The village has its own pub/restaurant as well as a primary school, and private schooling for children of all ages is available within comfortable daily travelling distance.
