The population as at the 2011 Census was less than 100. Details are included in the civil parish of Fewston. It is situated to the south of the Yorkshire Dales national park, and to the north of a Roman road and Fewston Reservoir on the A59 road linking Harrogate to Skipton. The name of the village derives from the Anglo-Saxon bluberhūs = "the house(s) which is/are at the bubbling stream",[1] with a later regularised plural; the -um form came from the Anglo-Saxon dative plural case æt bluberhūsum = "at the houses which ...". Later forms of the name on record include "Bluburgh", "Bluborrow", and "Bluburhouse".{{cn|date=February 2019}} The Anglican village church of St Andrew's was designed by Edward Buckton Lamb. It is part of the ecclesiastical parish of Fewston.[2] The village has a cricket team who play at a ground alongside the River Washburn.[3] In July 2014, Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France from York to Sheffield, passed through the village. It was also the location of the first climb of the stage, the Category 4 Côte de Blubberhouses, at the {{convert|47|km|mi}} point. It was {{convert|1.8|km|mi}} long at an average gradient of 6.1%. The single point for the King of the Mountains competition was claimed by Frenchman, Cyril Lemoine of Cofidis.[4] In popular cultureBlubberhouses is used as a key setting for local composer Andy Tillison's composition "Le Sacre Du Travail",[5] a five movement electric sinfonia recorded by the progressive rock ensemble The Tangent. The work is, according to the CD sleeve notes, loosely based around Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre Du Printemps" (The Rite Of Spring). One section of the second movement is named "Dawn At Blubberhouses" and the village is mentioned by name in the lyrics/libretto. A short story in the CD sleeve describes the journey of a man travelling to work through the village in the small hours of the morning. The CD album was released in 2013 by the German record label Inside Out Music.
