Winterburn is still very much a farming community, there is immediate access to some splendid walks including a scenic reservoir. The larger communities of Hetton and Airton are each within about a couple of miles, Gargrave some four miles and Grassington and Skipton both approximately seven miles. Skipton offers a wide range of amenities, and the railway station has services to Leeds, Bradford and London. A rural yet accessible location within commuting distance of many West Yorkshire and East Lancashire business centres.

Leaving Skipton via Grassington Road (B6265) driving into Rylstone, turn left into Raikes Lane and at the end of the road turn left onto Fleets Lane. On entering the village of Hetton you will pass The Angel on the right hand side, at the fork turn right following the sign for Winterburn. On reaching the centre Winterburn, turn right passing through a farm, over the cattle grid and then follow the track. Proceed over the small bridge and follow the single track road for around a mile where the property is located on the left, just before the reservoir and marked by our Dacre, Son & Hartley 'For Sale' board.
