Scriven North Yorkshire Map

About Scriven

Scriven, a quiet enclave in the Yorkshire Wolds, exhales the scent of damp earth and distant hay. It lies 1.6 km north-north-west of Knaresborough (from Knaresborough: bearing 348°T, OS grid SE 348 584). The fields surrounding Scriven roll with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell, their surfaces often catching the late afternoon sun in broad, golden swathes. A modest stream, its banks often fringed with nodding reeds, meanders through the landscape, reflecting the soft grey skies that frequently grace this part of North Yorkshire. The houses of Scriven themselves, a scattering of stone and brick, seem to have grown organically from the soil, their roofs a patchwork of weathered tiles. In summer, the air here hums with the industrious buzz of bees, a sound that seems to amplify the stillness.
