Stay in the Yorkshire Dales

Village life in the Dales

Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Burnsall oozes charm, whatever the season. Life feels slower here, the sunrise wakes the the morning chrous and sheep graze in dry stone walled fields, the way things have been for centuries. The village is nestled in Wharfdale, with the River Wharfe flowing by, teeming with life. An all year round haven for those that appreciate the outdoors, come and see what all the fuss is about.

Things to do

Get out and enjoy The Yorkshire Dales.
