The name is from Old English and means western enclosure, farmstead or village. The village is less than a mile north-east of Burley-in-Wharfedale across the River Wharfe, but there is no direct access across the river. Access to Weston village is by an unclassified road (Weston Lane) from Otley and from Askwith and Ilkley to the west.

Much of the northern part of the parish is an estate including commercial premises and farmland, also known as the Weston Estate. To the south of the village Weston Hall is part of the Askwith Estate adjoining the north bank of the River Wharfe. Weston was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.
