Austwick is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, about 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Settle.

According to the Austwick & Lawkland Tithe Map of 21 October 1851 the parish has an area of 8,201 acres (33.19 km2) of which around a quarter is uncut moorland.

The area surrounding Austwick has many ancient remains including extensive walls and structures constructed of slate, limestone, and sandstone.

In the Domesday Book, which was a survey of England conducted in 1086, Austwick was the head of 12 manors spread along a northern route.

As bubbles broke on the water's surface, his companions thought they could hear the words "T' b-best's at t' b-bottom", so they jumped into the pool as well, and were not seen again.
