Ben Rhydding is a Wharfedale village in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It is part of the Ilkley urban area and civil parish. It is situated on a north-facing valley beneath the Cow and Calf rocks and above and to the south of the River Wharfe, and falls within the historic West Riding of Yorkshire. The former name for the village area was Wheatley. In the 19th century it was noted for a popular and thoroughly equipped hydropathic establishment, opened in about 1844 at a cost of £30,000. It was the third major hydropathic establishment in England, "perhaps the most deeply respected and certainly the longest-lived".〔Price, R. (1981), pp.273-74〕 ''Ben Rhydding'', the name given to the establishment was also given to the railway station built to serve it and by which the village subsequently became known, is allegedly the ancient name of the uplands above Wheatley. In a 1900 history of Upper Wharfedale, a footnote describes the circumstances, citing Collyer's ''History of Ilkley'': Ben Rhydding is nowadays a predominantly residential area of Ilkley, served by a railway station, pub, two petrol stations, two churches and a few basic shops but relying in the main on the town for shopping and civic facilities. A picturesque nine hole golf course remains as a legacy of the hydropathic hotel. The village is well within the travel to work area of Bradford and Leeds. ==Location grid==
