Skyreholme is a small hamlet close to Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Located 9 miles north of Skipton and 11 miles from Ilkley, it is a walkers’ paradise. Criss-crossed by tributaries of the River Wharfe, it is home to Parcevall Hall Gardens and some of the county’s most renowned walks, including Troller’s Gill and the path up to Simon’s Seat. While Wharfedale is popular with visitors, Skyreholme enjoys a particularly strong community spirit, thanks to the high number of owner-occupiers living there, two terrific pubs in Appletreewick and a wide variety of events at the local Village Hall. It also falls within the catchment area for excellent schools, including the highly regarded Burnsall Primary, the Ofsted-rated Outstanding Upper Wharfedale Secondary plus two grammar schools in Skipton.

Cracked Castle manages to be both rural yet accessible: this would be the ideal home for anyone commuting into West Yorkshire’s major cities, home or hybrid workers and families of all ages, stages and sizes.
