Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Appletreewick offers a tranquil escape from the bustling crowds of more popular destinations.
Wharfedale, as delightful as it is, tends to become rather crowded during the summer months. However, there's a quaintly-named village, slightly off the beaten path that remains a bit quieter. The narrow and winding two-mile road from Burnsall to Appletreewick doesn't lead anywhere else. Appletreewick isn't a place you pass through unless by intention or fortunate mishap.

It's further from the Wharfe than say Grassington or Burnsall, so if you're keen on a dip, you'll need to be prepared and determined. If it's too cold or you simply can't be bothered, Appletreewick boasts two pubs - the New Inn and the Craven Arms - which are open all year round. Richard, a local from the Craven Arms, describes: 'It's a very historic village and one of the most beautiful villages in the Dales.' He further explains: 'It's a smaller road to get here so it's a bit more isolated – but not a lot.' As for the name 'Appletreewick', does it have any connection with apple trees?
