Weston, North Yorkshire

Weston is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. The village is 1.2 miles (2 km) north–west of Otley and near the River Wharfe which forms the boundary between North and West Yorkshire. The name is from Old English and means western enclosure, farmstead or village. The village is less than a mile north-east of Burley-in-Wharfedale across the River Wharfe, but there is no direct access across the river. Access to Weston village is by an unclassified road (Weston Lane) from Otley and from Askwith and Ilkley to the west. The village of Weston should not be confused with the nearby Weston Estate, a housing estate around Weston Lane between Weston and Newall, within Otley and West Yorkshire. The civil parish extends some 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the village to the River Washburn. Much of the northern part of the parish is an estate including commercial premises and farmland, also known as the Weston Estate. To the south of the village, Weston Hall is part of the Askwith Estate adjoining the north bank of the River Wharfe. Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Burley-in-Wharfedale railway station

Burley-in-Wharfedale railway station serves the village of Burley in Wharfedale in West Yorkshire, England, in the City of Bradford. The station lies on the Wharfedale Line between Ilkley and Leeds/Bradford Forster Square. It is served by Class 333 units run by Northern Trains, who also manage the station. It was opened in 1865 and is located on the Otley and Ilkley Joint Railway (and thus run by both the Midland Railway and the North Eastern Railway), 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) east of Ilkley. The station is unstaffed (and has been so since October 1968) and was once the junction for the line to Leeds via Otley. This route closed in 1965, as a result of the Beeching Axe. The station building still stands, but is now privately owned. In February and March 2022, tactile paving was installed along both platform edges. There are plans for the platforms to be extended to allow for 6 carriage trains.
