Barden Tower

Barden Tower is a ruined building in the Parish of Barden, in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England. The tower was used as a hunting lodge in the 15th and 16th centuries, and despite a renovation in the 1650s, it fell into disrepair in the 18th century. The tower is now part of the Bolton Estate and is listed as a medieval fortified tower. Along with other buildings on the Bolton Estate, it is a focal point and many people visit the tower. It is also a way marker on the 100-mile (160 km) Lady Anne's Way long distance path.

Barden Old Chapel

Barden Old Chapel, also known as Barden Tower Chapel or Barden Church, is a historic building in Barden near Skipton in North Yorkshire, in England. The chapel was constructed in the 16th century, to serve neighbouring Barden Tower. The interior was restored in the 19th century, but later gutted. Despite this the building was occasionally used for worship until the 1950s, but thereafter was boarded up and used only for storage. In 1954, it was grade I listed, but it was later placed on the Heritage at Risk Register. In 2015, the Bolton Abbey Estate restored the building as an events venue. The single-storey building is constructed of stone and has a stone slate roof. It is two bays long, and is supported by an angle buttress. To the left of the buttress is the doorway, and to its left is a six-light mullioned window. There is a further three-light window in the left wall. Inside, the original font survives, along with metalwork from the 2015 renovation. There is also a kitchen, with cellar below.

Barden, Craven

Barden is a civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It consists of the hamlet of Drebley and a few scattered houses in Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales. The parish also includes two areas of moorland, Barden Fell to the east of the River Wharfe and Barden Moor to the west of the river. Both moorlands are access land, and are popular with walkers. Barden Fell rises to the prominent peak of Simon's Seat, and Barden Moor includes two scenic 19th century reservoirs. Much of the parish is on the Bolton Abbey estate. The parish is sparsely populated. At the 2011 Census the population of the civil parish was less than 100, and the census statistics for the parish were therefore merged with those of the adjoining civil parish of Hazlewood with Storiths. In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the parish was 90. Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. Barden is derived from the Old English berdene, and means the valley where the barley is grown.
