Community

The village name possibly derived from 'Burnt Gates', based on a belief that nearby gates were burnt.[1]

Burnt Yates is part of the civil parish of Clint cum Hamlets in the rural subdivision of the Borough of Harrogate. The village is 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the River Nidd and approximately 10 miles (16 km) east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and contains approximately fifty houses.[1] Burnt Yates is in the UK Parliament Constituency of Skipton and Ripon, represented by the Conservative MP, David Curry.

The village school is Burnt Yates CE Primary School which Ofsted rated as 'Outstanding' in 2006-07, and 'Good' in 2011.[2] Forty-two children attend the school.[1] The school was required to become an academy following an 'Inadequate' rating in 2016, and in 2018, it was closed due to dwindling pupil numbers.[3] However, in 2019, the school buildings were reopened as Admiral Long C.E. Primary School, as a local school (Bishop Thornton C of E School) needed to move to larger premises.[4]

Countryside surrounding Burnt Yates is used for walking.
