The village is situated between Skipton and Keighley. It is approximately {{convert|1/2|mi|m|sigfig=1}} from the A629 and {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} from the nearby town of Skipton. Bradley is divided into two parts; High Bradley and Low Bradley, known collectively as Bradleys Both although traditionally the village used to be named Bradley Ambo. While physically in North Yorkshire and under the council of North Yorkshire, it has a West Yorkshire postal town and dialling code. HistoryThe Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes through the village. The Bradley section of the canal was completed in 1775. Upon entering the village there is a swing bridge crossing the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. A coal business was eventually established on the left of the swing bridge, complete with a wharf and weighbridge, while a coal stay and canal wharf occupied a large area to the right. Coal barges pulled by boat were a regular sight.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}} Bradley Mill constructed in the 1860s was renovated into 28 homes in 2005, developed by Novo Homes.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}} The primary school, Bradleys Both Community Primary School, was built in 1914.
