The small village and civil parish of Acaster Selby sits in the gently undulating countryside of North Yorkshire, England, on the banks of the River Ouse a few miles to the south of York and not far from Selby. It’s largely rural, with low‑density housing, working farms and riverside meadows that attract walkers and birdwatchers.
Its name, like other local Acasters, hints at a Roman "castra" or camp, and the area has a quietly historic feel with older cottages and a small parish church serving a close‑knit community; many residents commute into York while agriculture still shapes the local economy. The village’s riverside setting and easy road links, including nearby routes towards the A19, give it a mix of peaceful country life and practical access to the region.
