Kirkby Wharfe: what to know before moving day
There are very few named roads. The B1223 passes through as Raw Lane and New Road, and Wharfe Bank Terrace is the other address the map names. St John the Baptist's Church, from the 12th and 14th centuries, is the parish church for Kirkby Wharfe and Ulleskelf, and the parish has seven listed buildings, one of them Grade II*.
To the west is the Grimston Park estate. Its Georgian house, rebuilt by Decimus Burton in 1839, is listed Grade II* and has been turned into a number of homes, so an address there may be a flat or house within the old mansion. East of the village a stretch of the Wharfe floodplain around Dorts Dike is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its marsh plants.
How the van gets to Kirkby Wharfe
Kirkby Wharfe sits on the B1223 between Towton, on the A162, and Ulleskelf. From Bradford, the van can go by Leeds and the A64 towards Tadcaster, then the A162 south to Towton and the B1223 east, which is estimated at roughly 45 to 60 minutes. A Grimston Park address needs its house name as well as the postcode.
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.
