Farnley is a village in North Yorkshire, near Otley, north of Leeds. The name "Farnley" indicates that the village was first established in an area heavy with ferns.
To the north of the village lies Farnley Hall, a stately home built by John Carr. The house has a rich history, being associated with names such as Fairfax, Cromwell, and Turner. A selection of Turner's works from the Farnley Hall collection were sold in 1890 for £25,000.[1].
The primary school in Farnley is occasionally used as a location for filming the soap opera Emmerdale.
