Netherby is a village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies at grid reference SE333468, on the north bank of the River Wharfe, which forms the boundary with West Yorkshire here. The nearest town is Wetherby, 7 km to the east. This reach of the Wharfe is called Netherby Deep, and was the scene of a tragedy when two children drowned at a treacherous bathing place, which is recorded on a plaque there.[1] The village lies in the Church of England parish of Kirkby Overblow and Sicklinghall.[2]
