Known locally as 'Aptrick', this pretty little village is
situated on the eastern side of Wharfedale, two miles south
east of Burnsall.
There are two pubs, stocks, a campsite, (close to the river
Wharfe) and some well kept buildings in the Tudor style.
The village prospered from 1300 when Bolton Priory acquired
its manor, huge sheep ranges, and the valuable lead mines.
Later Charters were granted for markets and a fair which remained
important right up until the railway's impact in the
19th C.
The Tudor High Hall was restored By Sir William Craven who
was born in one of the existing cottages. He became the Sheriff
and Lord Mayor of London at the beginning of the 17th C.
