Welcome to Laver

Laver is a small village located in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the River Laver, which flows through the village and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Laver is a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Laver is the Laver Viaduct, which was built in 1848 and is a Grade II listed structure. The viaduct is an impressive sight, standing at 104 feet high and spanning 28 arches. It was built to carry the Leeds and Thirsk Railway over the River Laver and is still in use today, carrying trains between Leeds and York.

Laver is also home to the Laverock Hall Farm, which is a working farm that offers visitors the chance to see a variety of animals, including cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. The farm also has a farm shop where visitors can buy fresh produce, including meat, eggs, and vegetables. Laverock Hall Farm is a great place to visit for families with children, as there are plenty of opportunities for them to interact with the animals and learn about farming.
