Welcome to Bentham Town Council
Bentham is a picturesque parish located in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
It comprises two main settlements, High Bentham and Low Bentham, each with its own distinct charm. High Bentham serves as the commercial hub, offering a range of shops, cafes, and local businesses, while Low Bentham retains a more tranquil, rural character.
The area is known for its stunning landscapes, featuring rolling hills, lush meadows, and the winding River Wenning. With a strong sense of community, Bentham hosts various events and activities, making it an inviting destination for both residents and visitors.
The Council meets monthly with the schedules, agendas and minutes published on this website.
