Whitley Head West Yorkshire Map

About Whitley Head

Whitley Head rests with a quiet dignity upon the West Yorkshire moors. It lies 3.2 km south-south-west of Silsden (from Silsden: bearing 203°T, OS grid SE 029 435), and is situated south-south-west of Steeton village. The hamlet, a scattering of stone dwellings, seems to absorb the vast, open sky that presides over this elevated landscape, a sky that can shift from a pale, ethereal blue to a brooding, dramatic grey within the span of an hour. The air here carries a faint, clean scent of damp earth and distant sheep, a testament to the enduring agricultural character of the surrounding fields, which roll and dip with a gentle, unforced rhythm. Few traces of grand history remain, yet the very stones of Whitley Head whisper of generations who have weathered these winds and tended this soil.
