Moving in Hellifield Green: what to know first
The Green itself is a paved street rather than a tarmac road, and Peel Green is a short service lane, so loads here are done from Gisburn Road or the car park with a short carry. Parts of Gisburn Road are unlit and carry a 60 mph limit, and Back Lane nearby is single track. The homes are a small mix: the 1840s house split into four, single-storey Rook Cottage, and the houses by the pub and the club, so give the house name as well as the road.
Hellifield Green: the local picture
The Green is where the village post office sits, inside the Ahernes clothes shop, with a free council car park nearby and The Green Farm on the edge. Gisburn Road, the B6253, runs through with the Hellifield House pub, the Working Men's Club and the former Black Horse along it. Peel Green is a short lane off to the side.
The oldest homes are listed. A large house of about 1845, with a porch of four Ionic columns, has long been divided into four dwellings, and Rook Cottage is a single-storey limewashed cottage of the early 19th century. If you are moving into one of the split houses, check which entrance is yours and whether the stairs are shared, because a wide piece often has to go through a hall used by neighbours.
How the van gets to Hellifield Green
From Skipton the A65 runs north-west to Hellifield, where Gisburn Road branches off south towards The Green, and the A682 heads away south to Nappa. Gisburn Road carries a 7.5-tonne limit. Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes from Bradford for the whole trip, as an estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Hellifield Green
Where can the van wait while it is loaded on The Green?
There is a free surface car park on The Green, run by the old Craven council. Tell us whether your door is on The Green, Gisburn Road or Peel Green, and we will plan where to stop.
Does the railway get in the way at Hellifield Green?
Only as a landmark. The Blackburn line passes overhead on viaducts and bridges just south of the houses, and Gisburn Road goes under them, so give the house name as well as the road if you live near the arches.
Where does Gisburn Road go?
South-west, under the railway, to meet the A682 Hellifield Road, which runs on to Gisburn. It is the B6253, with a 7.5-tonne weight limit, and it is the direct way out towards Gisburn rather than going round by the A65.
