Evidence of an army training camp can be seen on the south-east edge of the village. The circular earthworks visible from Fell Lane are searchlight battery emplacements. The village is located miles north-west of Skipton. The name of the village can be seen as famous in geological circles – for the nearby Cracoe Reef Knolls, a series of limestone hills which are geological remnants of an ancient coral reef.
