Hellifield is a village on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. 
It is located 6 miles south-east of Settle and has a population of approximately 1430.

The village is sited on the main A65 road and has a station on the Leeds to Carlisle Railway.

In medieval times it seems that wolves hunted the area between Hellifield and Long Preston
and men were employed to guide travellers between the two settlements. 

During the 19th century, the railway revolution reached the village, which dramatically changed the growth
and population of what was then, a small hamlet.  A station was built to service the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Company's new line from Blackburn to Hellifield and Midland Railway's Settle to Carlisle Railway.
Hellifield became a major passenger and freight interchange, and many houses and streets
were built in the early 20th century to house the large railway population.

The village has an Inn, Cafés, Post Office, Village Store, Fish & Chip Shop and a Ladies & Gents Outfitters.

There are 25 listed buildings within the parish all of which are Grade II or II*.
