Life in the beautiful little-known Yorkshire village that people never want to leave

Between Ilkley and Skipton lies a quaint little village that people never want to leave.

Addingham once had a thriving texture mill industry dating back to the 16th century, and though mills have closed and shops been lost, it's still a thriving community where residents have few complaints.

Today the village is home to retirees and commuters - Leeds city centre is just 20 miles away - with less than 4,000 people and a handful of businesses including a Co-op, pubs, a post office and a hairdressers.
