Hampsthwaite is a North Yorkshire village 5 miles north west of Harrogate and lying to the south of the river Nidd. Hampsthwaite is designated as a Conservation Area and the area to the north and west of Hampsthwaite is recognised as an Area of Great Landscape Value
The village has a mixed population of approximately 1200, living mainly alongside two main streets and within a more recent housing development, who enjoy the benefits of a close, mutually supportive community and access to a wide range of facilities. These include a Village Room and the Memorial Hall for larger events, post office, shop, and Joiners' Arms.
The village was granted a charter in 1304 to hold an annual market and fair on the Feast of St Thomas the Martyr - Hampsthwaite being one of the few churches in the UK to be named after St. Thomas a' Becket. In 2004, the Methodist Church celebrated 100 yrs of Methodism in Nidderdale.
Hampsthwaite CE Primary School is at the heart of the village and the focus for many community activities.
