The first thing I noticed as I entered Pool-in-Wharfedale was the road.
Straight through the middle of the village is the A658 which leads directly to Bradford on one end and Harrogate on the other, both major destinations for people in the area. A few miles down the road there is also the junction for the A660 which drives directly to Leeds and the A659 also passes through the town.
This means Pool is the perfect town for commuters, with many people working outside of the small village of around 2,000 residents according to the 2011 census.
