Austwick is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into the limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. It sits near the head of Austwick Beck and is surrounded by drystone walls, pastures and gritstone scars, making it a popular base for walkers heading to Ingleborough and the nearby Three Peaks routes; the market town of Settle is a short drive away.
The community still has a strong agricultural character - sheep farming and smallholdings are common - but tourism and holiday lets are important to the local economy. The village retains historic touches, including buildings such as Austwick Hall, a parish church and a village hall, and hosts an active local life of clubs and events that reflect its rural, close‑knit nature.
