Kettlewell is a small rural village community nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park only six miles north of Grassington and alongside the beautiful River Wharfe. The name 'Kettlewell' comes from the word 'Chetelewelle' which means a bubbling spring or stream. Being situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the village has remained mostly unchanged for many years and offers the evocative and nostalgic Dales village feel of stepping back into a charming bygone era. The village is renowned for its annual Scarecrow Festival and is also associated with the popular 'Calendar Girls' story. More recently, the village was also used as location for filming the TV series of James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great & Small'.

The village benefits from a range of amenities including a primary school together with a choice of places to eat and drink. The surrounding fells and scenery offer a terrific landscape for walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits whilst also being listed as a 'S.S.S.I.' (Site of Special Scientific Interest) for their interesting geological features.

The nearby town of Skipton is only circa fifteen miles away to the south whilst the village of Threshfield is only circa 10 minutes drive away in the same direction and benefits from a superb SPAR mini-supermarket/off-licence, open from 7am to 10pm seven days a week being well stocked with an extensive range of grocery products whilst also including a petrol filling station, in-store bakery and a high class butchers offering an excellent range of award winning meat, pies and barbecue products.
