Yockenthwaite

Yockenthwaite is a hamlet in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It lies in the Langstrothdale valley in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Yockenthwaite is 20 miles (32 km) north of Skipton and 8 miles (13 km) south of Hawes. The name of the hamlet is said to derive from Eoghan's clearing in a wood.

Yockenthwaite lies on the north bank of the River Wharfe. It is better known than may be expected because a children's television character from The Rottentrolls takes its name from the hamlet.

The hamlet is connected to the road that winds up and down Langstrothdale by a grade II listed bridge from the early 18th century. This is the only route into and out of the hamlet by road.

Yockenthwaite Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 18th century. It is a Grade II listed building. Yockenthwaite Bridge is also a Grade II listed building.

Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
