Man with a Van High Skyreholme

Moving in High Skyreholme: what to know first

The farms are spread along Skyreholme Bank rather than grouped, each known by name: Inman's Farm, Dalehead and Ridge Lathe among them. Above them, Black Hill Road and Forest Road are moorland tracks, not routes for the van. Loading is in the farmyard, so say whether the yard will be busy with stock or machinery on the day and whether the van can turn there, since reversing back down the bank is a long way.

High Skyreholme: the local picture

Inman's Farm is the working heart of it, and Inmans Farmhouse and barn, an 18th-century house with a big central wagon entrance in the barn beside it, is listed. Dalehead Farm, once called Tasker House, and Ridge Lathe sit higher up, below a hill that the old maps simply call Ridge. Old mines, an adit and the site of Skyreholme Dam, a former mining pond, lie on the slopes.

That dam burst in 1899 and the flood carried away the smaller dam that fed the corn mill down at Barden, which then fell out of use. Deep underground, the Nidd Aqueduct passes nearby on its way to the Chellow Heights treatment works in Bradford. Farm moves often include outbuildings, so list a shed or barn's contents as well as the house.

How the van gets to High Skyreholme

Skyreholme Bank is the only road up. It is tarmac from the junction at Middle Skyreholme, turning to a paved track near the top, with Black Hill Road and Forest Road continuing as tracks onto the moor. The van comes by Appletreewick and Skyreholme Lane; the estimate from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
