Burley in Wharfedale

Burley-in-Wharfedale, is a large rural village neighbouring Leeds and Bradford in the Wharfedale region of West Yorkshire, England. Although the village retains a very country village atmosphere in its pretty setting in the Wharfedale valley, it also boasts excellent shopping, pubs, restaurants and holiday accommodation, along with road and rail links that provide convenient access to all of the sites and attractions of West Yorkshire. 

Yorkshire is the largest country in England, spanning three National Parks — the Yorkshire Dales, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Peak District, in addition to the untamed moorland of Bronte Country, the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds. West Yorkshire in particular is a unique part of the country to visit, with a fantastic combination of the old and the new in such close proximity. Transport links in the region are some of the best in the country due to the industrial and mining heritage of the area, making it easy to fill each day of your visit with as much, or as little, activity as you fancy, with minimal planning required in advance.

Just a few select examples of the many attractions of the West Yorkshire region includes: the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Harewood House, the Middleton Railway working steam railway line, the Thackray Museum of medical history (which is a particularly popular attraction with children), The Alhambra Theatre, Bradford Cathedral, St. Leonards Farm Park, Pontefract Castle, and the Lightwater Valley Theme Park & Zoo.
