The history of Clapham has been largely dominated by the fortunes of the Farrer family. It was Oliver Farrer who bought the shooting rights and created an estate stretching to the head of Ribblesdale. They also redesigned the whole of the north end of the village and dammed Clapham Beck to created a lake.

A half-hour walk north of the village are Ingleborough caves, opened by the Farrers in the 1830’s as an attraction.

Clapham is featured on our 55-minute video Picture Postcard Yorkshire, and can be purchased on line. Click here to find out more.
