Hi Carol,

Hampsthwaite is just west of Harrogate, Hampsthwaite west to Pateley Bridge is about 6 or 7 miles, Pateley Bridge again west to Linton in Craven about 12 miles or so. Linton in Craven is 8 miles north of Skipton.

You should be able to find Harrogate, Pateley Bridge and Skipton easily on a map of Yorkshire.

Relatively speaking they are in the same area I would say.

Linton, Hampsthwaite, Thornthwaite and Pateley Bridge were all in the West Riding (until 1974)

Those maps will certainly help Carol to see the locations of the area. in Yorkshire.

You might also like to try http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YRY/Where

where there is a 'where is it in Yorkshire' section.

Also if you go to a place page from that link you can find click on 'Nearby Places' at the top.

Or if, when on a place page, you scroll down to the subheading 'Gazetteers' you will see 'Ask for a calculation of the distance from (place) to another place' which is very helpful when trying to see if two places are near each other.

There is also a wealth of other information on there too under each place page :-)

Hope this helps
