Moving in Skyreholme: what to know first
Skyreholme Lane is the tarmac lane through the lower hamlet, and Lumb Mill Way is a short residential road off it. Hazler Lane and New Road join it nearby, and Skyreholme Bank crosses the beck on a small bridge on its way up the valley. Houses such as Haworth House stand back on their own drives, so say how far the door is from where the lane is wide enough to stop.
Skyreholme: the local picture
It was once an industrial place. In 1841 some 234 people lived here, most tied to a water-powered cotton and calico mill, and the mill site and its old mill races are still beside the lane. A chapel of ease was built for them in 1837; it closed in 1897, but the building served as the hamlet school from 1867 until 1967. Lumb Mill Way, a short residential road off Skyreholme Lane, keeps the mill's memory in its name.
Today it is a scatter of stone houses and farms, among them Haworth House and Haworth Farm, with old sandstone workings at Birkshaw Quarry above. Upstream, Skyreholme Beck runs through the limestone gorge of Trollers Gill, where the bed is dry for most of the year. Grimwith Reservoir is over the hill, and summer visitors to the dale can fill the lanes, so a weekday move is usually calmer.
How the van gets to Skyreholme
The van reaches Appletreewick first and carries on east to Skyreholme Lane, the tarmac lane through the hamlet. New Road, Hazler Lane and Skyreholme Bank are the other lanes close by. From Bradford the road goes by Skipton and the B6265 up the dale; budget roughly 45 to 60 minutes 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 Skyreholme
Skyreholme has three parts. Which one am I in?
Skyreholme itself is by the old mill, Middle Skyreholme about 400 metres up the beck, and High Skyreholme beyond that. BD23 6DF and 6DL belong to the lower hamlet; tell us your house name so the van stops at the right cluster.
Can an upright piano come to a Skyreholme cottage?
Yes, with notice. Upright pianos are moved by arrangement, so mention it at booking along with the number of steps up to the door and whether the path is paved.
Do garden visitors use the lane through the hamlet?
Yes. Parcevall Hall's gardens, up the valley, open from April to October, and visitors drive up Skyreholme Lane past the houses. A weekday move, away from summer weekends, keeps the lane clearer.
