Burton Leonard
Burton Leonard is a village and civil parish in the former Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, and approximately 7 miles (11 km) south from Ripon.Buses run daily from the green to the nearby town of Knaresborough and the City of Ripon.[4] The name of Burton derives from the Old English of Burh-Tūn (a fortified manor) and the name of Leonard, in this case, the dedication of the local church.[13] Burton Leonard has just one pub, the Royal Oak,[14][15] after the Hare and Hounds closed in 2017 and was demolished to make way for new housing.[8][21] The underlying geology of the area is magnesian limestone, which many of the older buildings in the village are constructed of.
