Moving in Lingerfield: what to know first
Homes at Lingerfield are few: a short terrace off Market Flat Lane, a handful of houses, and the static caravans of Kingfisher Holiday Park. Market Flat Lane is unlit and carries business park traffic at 40 mph, rising to 60 mph further out, so the van pulls in off it rather than stopping on the carriageway.
Rooker Lane and Smithy Lane look like short cuts, but both are bridleways with dirt or gravel surfaces, closed to motor vehicles. For a caravan on the holiday park, ask the park beforehand where a van may stand and tell us the pitch.
Lingerfield: the local picture
Scotton Lingerfield Primary School, a North Yorkshire Council school, stands on Market Flat Lane, and the Nidd Valley Business Park and Lingerfield Business Park sit either side of the hamlet, with Lingerfield Garage and the Scotton Business Centre close by. A house here shares the lane with working traffic, so say when you book whether the van can pull in off the road.
Open country starts straight away. Kingfisher Holiday Park is about 450 metres off, Shaw Beck runs past, Cold Keld Wood is close by, and the Farnham Gravel Pits nature reserve, looked after by the Harrogate & District Naturalists' Society, is just over half a kilometre away, near where HG5 9JW falls in Farnham parish.
How the van gets to Lingerfield
Market Flat Lane has a 40 mph limit and a 7.5-tonne weight limit here. From Knaresborough the van takes Scriven Road north and follows Market Flat Lane out past Scriven, while Low Moor Lane and Stang Lane are the other lanes nearby. Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes for the van to arrive from Bradford, 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 Lingerfield
The school is called Scotton Lingerfield. Which village is it actually in?
It is on Market Flat Lane at Lingerfield, inside Scotton parish, about 800 metres from the hamlet itself. For a house nearby, the postcode, such as HG5 9JH, is the surest guide for the van.
Can you move the contents of a static caravan at Kingfisher Holiday Park?
Yes, the furniture and boxes go like any small move. The park is about 450 metres from the hamlet off Market Flat Lane; check its rules on vehicles first and give us the pitch number.
Can the van cut through on Rooker Lane or Smithy Lane?
No. Both are public bridleways, with dirt or gravel surfaces and no motor vehicles allowed, so the van stays on Market Flat Lane and the roads around it.
