Timble is a village in North Yorkshire, situated on the slopes of the Washburn valley, north of Otley and close to Swinsty and Fewston reservoirs.
In 1988, the diaries of local man John Dickinson were published[1], providing considerable insight into the history of the village and the surrounding area. In the 17th century, the village was home to The Witches of Timble, who were accused of witchcraft by local poet Edward Fairfax, and tried but acquitted twice at York.[2]
The village has one pub, the Timble Inn. As of 2006 it is closed for refurbishment.
