Wormald Green: what to know before moving day
Harrogate Borough Council estimated the population at 136 in 2016, so this is a short run of homes along the main road and a few lanes. The George, a hotel and carvery dating from the early 20th century, stands east of the bridge over the beck. Orchard View is the one residential close on OpenStreetMap, and Station Lane leads away east.
Wormald Green had a station on the Leeds to Northallerton railway from 1848; passenger trains stopped in 1962 and the station closed in 1964. Buses on route 36 between Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon stop in the village, which helps if someone is meeting the van from Harrogate.
How the van gets to Wormald Green
The A61 runs through the village as Harrogate Road, Ripon Road and Dove Bank, with a 40 mph limit. From Harrogate the van heads north on the A61. With through traffic on the only main road, a home fronting the A61 needs a planned stop on a drive or lay-by rather than the carriageway.
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.
