Welcome to Barden

Barden is a small village located in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The village is known for its historic Barden Tower, which was built in the 15th century and is now a popular tourist attraction. Barden also has a number of walking trails and cycling routes that offer visitors the chance to explore the surrounding countryside.

One of the main attractions in Barden is the Barden Tower, which was built by Sir Henry Clifford in the 15th century. The tower was originally used as a hunting lodge and was later converted into a residence. Today, visitors can explore the tower and learn about its history through guided tours. The tower is also a popular venue for weddings and other events, with its stunning views of the surrounding countryside providing a picturesque backdrop.

Barden is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with a number of walking trails and cycling routes in the area. The village is located on the Dales Way, a long-distance footpath that runs from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria. There are also a number of shorter walks in the area, including the Barden Bridge Walk and the Barden Moor Walk. Cyclists can enjoy the challenging climbs and stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales on the Barden Moor Loop, a 20-mile route that starts and finishes in the village.
