Buckden North Yorkshire Map

About Buckden

Buckden breathes the clean air of Upper Wharfedale, a place where the land rises and falls with a quiet dignity. It lies 18.3 km north-east of Settle (from Settle: bearing 42°T, OS grid SD 941 771), and is situated north-north-west of Starbotton village. The village's stone cottages, softened by the Yorkshire light, cluster around the ancient church, their roofs a warm, weathered grey against the emerald sweep of the surrounding fells. Here, the River Wharfe, a ribbon of silver, carves its patient path through the valley, its murmur a constant companion to the days. Buckden's history is tied to the sheep that have grazed these hills for centuries, their wool once a vital thread in the tapestry of local commerce. The very air seems to hold the scent of damp earth and wild thyme, a perfume of the wild.
