Crossflatts is a ribbon development in Airedale along the old route of the A650 road between Bingley and Keighley, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.[1][2] The opening of the Aire Valley Trunk road in 2004 has seen a reduction of 51% of traffic through the village.[3]

It is served by Crossflatts railway station on the Airedale Line connecting Skipton with Bradford and Leeds.[4] This small village adjoins Bingley at the famous Five Rise Locks.
