Boston Spa is located a mile to the east of the junction 44 of the A1(M) to the north east of Leeds and about two miles south of the market town of Wetherby. It is mid way between Leeds, Harrogate and York being approximately 15 miles from each. Neighbouring villages include Bramham, Collingham, Clifford, Thorner, Thorp Arch and Walton with the brewery town of Tadcaster about 5 miles to the east. Its built environment is of extremely high quality as demonstrated by the very high density of listed buildings in the village.
It lies on the Southern Magnesian Limestone ridge and the landscape is generally gently undulating, marking a transition between the Vale of York to the east and the Pennine fringe to the west. The River Wharfe cuts a gorge through this landscape with steep cliffs on the southern,village, side and meadows to the north. Its tree-lined banks provide picturesque enclosed views which have been celebrated since the18th century. The riverside path runs for approximately two miles along the river and provides a series of contrasting views.
The photograph shows some limestone cliffs along the river and has been kindly provided by Boston Spa Archaeology and Heritage group and is taken from their HERITAGE TRAILreport.
