Welcome to Earby

Earby is a small town located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Aire and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Herdebi. Earby was once a thriving market town, and evidence of this can still be seen in the town's architecture, including the old market cross and the town hall.

Today, Earby is a quiet and peaceful town with a population of around 5,000 people. Despite its small size, the town has a strong sense of community, and there are plenty of local events and activities to get involved in. The town has a number of shops, pubs, and restaurants, as well as a library, community centre, and sports facilities. There are also several schools in the area, making it a popular choice for families.

One of the main attractions of Earby is its proximity to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town is just a short drive from some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, including the famous Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough, and Whernside. The area is popular with walkers, hikers, and cyclists, and there are plenty of trails and routes to explore. Whether you're looking for a gentle stroll or a challenging hike, the Yorkshire Dales has something to offer everyone.

Penistone Hill Is Fabulous For Off Lead Dog Walks. We Usually Do An Evening Walk Of 1-2 Miles With Our Pup, But Every Day We Discover New Paths To Explore. You Can Park Your Car &Amp; Let The Dog Straight Out. It Is Muddy So Wellies Are Advisable &Amp; Something To Dry The Dog With. There Are Lots Of Dog Walkers In The Area, But If You Want To Avoid Them It's Easy Because There Are So Many Paths You Can Just Change Direction. Most Dogs &Amp; Owners Are Friendly &Amp; Ours Loves To Run Around With Doggy Friends. A Couple Of Times We've Met Horses, But You Can Usually Spot Them In Plenty Of Time To Get Your Dog On The Lead.
