Burley Woodhead has long been regarded as one of the area’s most sought after communities - the village enjoying a beautiful setting on the edge of Wharfedale from where there are commanding views towards the Vale of York and the surrounding moors. The village has its own popular pub whilst, a short drive down Moor Lane leads into Burley in Wharfedale where there are everyday local shops and other amenities along with a couple of primary schools.

The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley is just some 3.5 miles distant and is home to vibrant shopping with local stores rubbing shoulders with ‘high street’ brands. There is a broad choice of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms whilst other amenities include a local cinema and the popular Winter Gardens. For the commuter, rail services can be joined in Ilkley, Burley and Menston and offer frequent links throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford – with onward connections from the former to London King’s Cross. Leeds Bradford Airport is only 7 miles away.

If entering Burley Woodhead from Ilkley, proceed through the village passing The Hermit pub on the left hand side. Continue for a further half mile or so and the road bears sharply to the left. Continue, and after a couple of 100 yards the driveway to Bracken Hill will be seen to the right hand side, directly opposite Dove Cottage.
