Man with a Van Winsley

Moving in Winsley: what to know first

Winsley sits on high ground between the B6165 and Brimham Moor. Brimham Rocks Road is its one public road, and the farm drives off it are private, some surfaced with concrete plates and some unsurfaced. Several of the buildings are farm buildings, so give the house name. The road leads on to Brimham Rocks, the National Trust site to the north-west, which has a car park and more than 175,000 visitors a year, so expect visitor traffic on fine weekends.

Winsley: the local picture

Well House is the listed house, a four-bay gritstone house of the late 17th or early 18th century with a gabled porch and a lintel carved in an embattled pattern. Its stable, with a dated and inscribed lintel, a five-bay barn and a row of four loose boxes are all listed with it. Winsley Grange is the small group of homes a few hundred metres away, and High Winsley Farm, High Winsley Cottage, Grange Farm, Fir Tree Farm and Lawns Farm are spread around.

Woodland fills the gaps: Trustee Wood, High Eppage Wood, Low Eppage Wood and Spa Wood, with Lurk Beck nearby. For a farm or barn conversion reached by its own track, tell us the length of the track and whether a long van can turn at the end.

How the van gets to Winsley

Brimham Rocks Road leaves the B6165 and passes through Winsley. From Bradford the van uses the A658 to Pool, the B6161 Otley Road and a short stretch of the A61 Ripon Road, then turns onto the B6165 and follows it for about four kilometres before taking Brimham Rocks Road.

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