History
It was known as Airtone in the Domesday Book[2] and takes its name from the River Aire which runs to the east of the village.[3] Originally a Quaker village, there is still a Quaker meeting house,[4] a squatter's cottage on the village green[5] and an old mill on the River Aire[6] which is in use as a private residence. The old mill was given listed status in 1989.[7] There is no pub or Post Office in the village, however there is a Farm Shop and Tea Room at Town End Farm on the road to Malham.[8]
There is no church in the village and as such it is in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Kirkby Malhamdale.[9][10]
Transport
There is a bus stop in the village but no regular bus travel goes through Airton apart from the school buses. The local travel links are located 3 miles (4.8 km) from the village to Hellifield railway station and 23 miles (37 km) to Leeds Bradford International Airport. Also, the local roads link the village to the A65.
Tourism
The village is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and lies on the tourist route to Malham Cove and Malham Tarn. The Pennine Way passes around the edge of the village, alongside the river.[11]
