Arthington is a linear village in Wharfedale, in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England.

The village is a small collection of dwellings and farms along the A659 road (Arthington Lane) running from Pool-in-Wharfedale in the West to Harewood in the East, and south of a section of the River Wharfe.

[4] Arthington was part of the estate of Aluuard of Northumbria, along with Adel, Burdon, Cookridge and Eccup, up until the Norman conquest of England.

[9] To the West of the village is Creskeld Hall, a former Manor house,[6] which has been used for filming the external shots of Home Farm in the TV serial Emmerdale.

[10] The village was the site of Arthington Priory, one of only two Cluniac nunneries in England - the other being at Delapré Abbey in Northampton.

The railway then crosses the dramatic stone Arthington Viaduct over the River Wharfe to Castley on the north side of the valley.
