Wharfe is a hamlet adjacent to the village of Austwick, North Yorkshire, England.

The hamlet is within the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park[1] and is close to the Norber Erratics, a group of boulders moved by glaciers during the last ice age.[2] These geographic circumstances make Wharfe popular with hikers and daywalkers.[citation needed]
