Hartlington: what to know before moving day
Hartlington Raikes is the spine of the place. It runs from Lower Hartlington up to Upper Hartlington and on to the B6265 about 1.5 miles away, where it becomes Hartlington Moor Lane and climbs towards Grimwith Reservoir. Cross Hill leads down to Burnsall and its bridge. Cyclists on National Cycle Route 688 use the same lanes, so a van should take them slowly.
All seven listed buildings in the parish are farmhouses, farm buildings or old mill and road structures. Hartlington Mill, a mid to late 18th-century watermill, has been converted into flats; it is built into the hillside, three storeys at one end and two at the other, so which flat you are in decides how the furniture comes out. Summersgill, a farmhouse with its barn attached, goes back to the 16th century, and Kings Farmhouse and Wharfe House Farmhouse are the other homes on the list. Burnsall Park, the riverside site that opened in the early 1950s, closed in July 2026.
How the van gets to Hartlington
From Skipton, take the B6265 north through Rylstone and Cracoe to Grassington and on to Hebden, then turn down Hartlington Raikes, or go down Mill Lane from Hebden. Coming from Burnsall instead, the lane crosses Burnsall Bridge and climbs Cross Hill. To the east, Hartlington Bridge carries the road over Barben Beck towards Appletreewick.
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.

Hartlington: questions before you book
Was Burnsall Park in Burnsall or in Hartlington?
In Hartlington, despite its name. Hartlington was once a township of the old Burnsall parish and has been a civil parish in its own right since 1866. The riverside park, which opened in the early 1950s, closed in July 2026.
Does the mill conversion change how a move works?
It can. Hartlington Mill is built into a slope with a different number of floors at each end, so tell us which flat and which floor, and whether there is a lift or only stairs, before the day.
