Eastby: what to know before moving day
Barden Road runs through Eastby, a tertiary road with postcodes such as BD23 6SN and BD23 6SP. Many of the listed houses on it are unusual in one way that matters on moving day: 12 Barden Road, 14 Barden Road, 22 to 24 Barden Road and Eastby Hall all have their rear walls facing the street, so the front door may be round the side or at the back. Say which door you use when you book.
These are old buildings. Eastby Hall and 12 Barden Road date from the mid 17th century, 22 to 24 Barden Road from the late 17th, and Dale Head Farmhouse and Green Bottom are also 17th century. A K6 telephone kiosk of 1935 stands on Barden Road, and Hunters Lane, a track, leads up from the village. The parish includes Embsay Reservoir and is in the Skipton North & Embsay-with-Eastby ward of North Yorkshire Council.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Eastby: questions before you book
Should I say Embsay or Eastby on the booking?
Say Eastby and give the Barden Road house number or name. The two share a parish and a council ward, but Eastby is a separate hamlet further along the road, and the right name saves a wrong turn.
