Settle is a small market town within the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is served by the Settle railway station, which is located near the town centre, and Giggleswick railway station which is a mile away. It is 29 miles from Leeds Bradford International Airport. The main road running through Settle is the B6480, which links to the A65, connecting Settle to Skipton. The town has a population of 2,421 according to the 2001 Census.
Settle is a popular Yorkshire tourist destination attracting many visitors from around the world.
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and located in Ribblesdale, the town lies at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, within a few miles of the Three Peaks, and is perhaps best known for its railway station which is at the southern end of the scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway.
Settle's market is held weekly on Tuesdays, in the market place in the centre of the town, which is surrounded by local businesses, most of which are family-owned, with some offering items for sale unique to the Settle area.
The district includes several caves where prehistoric remains have been found, the most notable being Victoria Cave, so called because the inner chamber was discovered on Queen Victoria's accession day in 1837. Victoria Cave contained remains of mammoth, bear, reindeer and hippopotamus as well as stones, flint, bone and other implements and ornaments. The discovery of flint is noteworthy since it is not a substance that is found naturally in the area; it would probably have been used for arrowheads. Immediately overlooking the town is Castleberg, an impressive 300 feet (91 m) limestone crag.
Settle itself has three schools, and works on a middle school system, with Settle Primary School, Settle Middle School, and Settle College. To the west of the town is Giggleswick School, one of the principal public schools in the north of England, founded in 1512. The museum at Giggleswick holds many of the artifacts discovered at Victoria Cave.
Settle is twinned with the French Mediterranean seaside town of Banyuls-sur-Mer.
