The easiest access route to Buckden House is from Skipton. From Skipton follow the B6160 north heading towards Grassington/Kettlewell. You’ll soon reach Threshfield. Continue on the main road. You should now be passing through Kilnsey with the fish farm, The Tennet’s Arms (pub), and the huge cliff on your left hand side. Continue on the main road to Kettlewell. Once there pass over the narrow hump-backed bridge and in between the Racehorse and Blue Bell pubs. Pass through the small hamlet of Starbotton to arrive in Buckden village. The centre’s entrance is on your right hand side.
