Greenhow sits on the moor above Nidderdale — one of the highest villages in Yorkshire, and one of the most exposed places Kevin works.
Also known as Greenhow Hill, the village stands at over 400 metres, close to St Mary's Church — reputedly the highest parish church still in use in England. It grew up around the old lead-mining industry, and Coldstones Quarry and the Coldstones Cut artwork still mark the hillside to the east.
At this altitude, exposure is the defining factor. Roofs, render and pointing take a battering from wind and driving rain that lower-lying villages simply don't see, so materials and detailing need to match the conditions.

Greenhow's housing grew up around the lead-mining industry, so much of the village is 19th-century stone-built cottages. These were built to withstand tough conditions, but stonework, pointing and roofing still need regular attention at this altitude.
At 400 to 420 metres, Greenhow is one of the highest villages in Yorkshire, sitting on open moorland above Nidderdale. The steep B6265 drops sharply toward Pateley Bridge, and the whole site sits well above the shelter of the dale below.
