Burnt Yates: what to know before moving day
The name may come from 'Burnt Gates', from a belief that gates nearby were once burnt. The village school goes back to 1760, with additions in 1763 and 1849, and is listed along with a sundial in its grounds. After the Burnt Yates school closed in 2018, the buildings reopened in 2019 as Admiral Long C.E. Primary School when the Bishop Thornton school needed more room. St Andrew's Church was built in 1883.
Homes sit along the main road and in short closes off it: Clint Garth, Oak Garth, High View, Daleside View, Valley View and The Wynd, plus New Inn Terrace. Rose Lea Farmhouse, a laithe house with the house and barn under one roof, is listed too. If your house fronts the B6165, tell us so the stop can be planned off the carriageway where possible.
How the van gets to Burnt Yates
The B6165 runs from Knaresborough through Ripley and Burnt Yates to Summerbridge and on up the dale, and the stretch through the village is named Admiral's Way on the map. Clint Bank drops south to Clint and Birstwith, and Pye Lane heads north to Shaw Mills. From Harrogate the van takes the A61 to Ripley and turns onto the B6165.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
