The Parish of Darley and Menwith is situated in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, midway between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge. It has around 1200 inhabitants living in some 450 houses in what is known as a ribbon village. Many of the houses line Darley Main Street which stretches for over 1.5km, and others are on lanes leading off this street, or in the surrounding area. It is a thriving village with several community groups catering for all needs.

DARLEY is a 5 ROSE VILLAGE AGAIN!  Taking part in Yorkshire in Bloom's Golden Rose Competition in 2025, Darley was awarded the maximum 5 Roses, for its facilities, cleanliness and horticultural displays.    Well done Darley.
