Can you help me identify this village in the Yorkshire Dales

[Bealtaine23]

About 40 years ago, when I was about 12, I went on holidays with my friend and her parents to the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. We drove around a lot but one memory I have is driving into a tiny village in the Dales, and feeling like we might not be able to get out as the road was so narrow - I think it was a bridge. I think the village was very self-contained, not sure how to describe it but like entering a farm, not with houses on the road into it. I have a feeling we came down to it from a hill and could see it. But not sure.
And that’s about all I can remember. I’d love to find it again as it stuck in my head. We may have been travelling to Haworth from the Lake District but taken a scenic route. But that may be a red herring.
Any suggestions for me - it’s vague I know!

That could be a number of places. Bolton abbey has a very narrow archway.

Clapham?

Muker has a bridge on the way into/out of the village.

Bentham? Dent?

Preston under Scar?

Arncliffe has two narrow bridges and is "self contained" as you say at the bottom of a valley.

This fits the description and location.

Thanks for the replies. Had a look at them all. Some are too big, some too linear - it wasn’t a village with a road going straight through it. Muker and Arncliffe are most like what I recall. It felt enclosed, tiny, narrow roads. Of course that’s my 12 year old perception of it, so maybe it’s wrong. Thanks though, beautiful villages.

Hawes?

Hawes and Gayle beside it feel like a good fit in terms of the narrow lanes etc. aw, it’s impossible to be sure given the time passed/my memory - I think I’ll just have to visit again! Thanks all.

Could it have been in the Lakes? Sounds like Watendlath.

Muka?

I agree this is a possibility.

Hutton Le Hole?

Watendlath has the narrow dead end road and a very narrow bridge to get to it. It’s like driving into a farmyard when you get there.

Interestingly the Google maps street view doesn't go right to the village, presumably because of the narrow road. It does sound like it might be the right place.

Not Watendlath, but I suppose it could be Lake District area too - but looks like the Dales type village. At this point the more I try to recall it, the woolier it’s getting 😩but thanks for all the suggestions. There are some amazing places there!

Somewhere round Denby Dale or Hebden Bridge?

Do you have a parent or sibling who might remember?

Hebden Bridge came to my mind instantly

Coming into Bainbridge you approach down a bit of a bendy hill then over a bridge next to a water screw and into the village. This is between Aysgarth and Hawes. I flippen love the dales.

It sounds like Hubberholme, near the head of Wharfedale.

Sounds to me like Summer Bridge. My grandparents lived there many years ago.

Pateley Bridge?

Kirkby londsdale..( sister lives there)
Tiny square with an arch centre some cobbled streets.
Think Skipton be too big.
Could be Grassington.
Sounds a lot like Settle too.
We are going to Kirkby Londsdale on Sunday.. we go via Skipton and Settle .. through Ingleton.
I'll keep my eye out for your description.
