Wharfe is a small hamlet just outside the village of Austwick, North Yorkshire, England.

There are 12 houses in the 'main' hamlet and 9 that are scattered farms nearby.

the twelve are; Sandford Grange, Grey Scarrs, Garth Cottage, Low Farm, Wharfe House, Manor House, Wood View, Midge Hall, Beacon Light, Fleet house, Wood view, Orchard Cottage.

The nine are; Wood End, Silloth House, Jop Ridding, White House, Far End House, Far End Lodge, Low Bark House, High Bark House & Newfield House. Fifty Years ago 7 of these were dairy farms but now only one is. Two others keep sheep but all the rest have stopped farming. - update in 2006 Edward Hird at Wood End gave up dairy to now do only sheep and beef cattle so there are no dairy farms at all in Wharfe.

Wharfe is very popular with day-walkers as it is very pictureque, is set in the most beautiful countryside and has the nearby attractions of Norber Eratics and the many footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross it.
