Aldwark Bridge House is situated in open countryside in the Vale of York about 13 miles north of the City of York, and is bordered to the west by the Yorkshire Dales National Park and to the east by the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, both areas of outstanding natural beauty.

The house has 3 guest bedrooms (one en-suite), sitting room with traditional Yorkshire Range, dining room with original wood flooring and garden with barbeque facilities.

The site of the house can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066, when the land was given by William the Conqueror to one of his supporters, the de Stutevilles. In 1200 William de Stuteville gave part of his estate to the Abbot of Fountains Abbey, and this included the land now occupied by the house.

The house itself dates back to the late 17th Century and at that time there was a ferry across the River Ure. In 1772 an Act of Parliament was granted for the building of a bridge adjacent to the house across the River Ure to replace the ferry, which was not usable in bad weather conditions.

For many years the house had been occupied by the owner of Aldwark Mill and Aldwark Bridge. In the mid 1960s it was divided into lots and sold. The house has since been used as a private family house and has retained mooring and fishing rights on the River Ure.

The house is situated in the Vale of York and is within easy reach of the historic cities of York and Ripon, the towns of Harrogate, Knaresborough and Thirsk (Herriot Country) and the North Yorkshire Dales and Moors.
Within a 5 mile radius of the house there
is a wide range of inns, public houses and
restaurants, catering for all tastes.

Cinemas and theatres are to be found in York and Harrogate. Golf, boating, horse riding and fishing are also available in the area in addition to sightseeing and walking.

Leeds-Bradford and Teesside International Airports are 25 and 35 miles away respectively.
