Gargrave is a charming historic village of around 1700 inhabitants. Dating back to Roman times it sits in between and alongside the River Aire and the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Bisected by the Pennine Way north to south it is easily reached by the A65 located 4 and a half miles north west of the market town of Skipton.
There are three large and inviting village greens and many pleasant walks along the canal and river to enjoy. There are two pubs The Old Swan Inn and The Masons which both serve food through the day and The Frying Yorkshireman fish and chip shop and restaurant.
