Akebar is a tiny, predominantly rural parish in North Yorkshire, England, made up of scattered farms, cottages and hedged fields rather than a single village core. Its quiet lanes and long views over rolling countryside give it a secluded, pastoral feel and make it appealing to walkers and people seeking countryside tranquillity.
Historically the area has agricultural roots stretching back centuries, with old field patterns and traditional farmsteads still evident; today the local economy remains centred on farming, with some farm diversification and holiday lets supplementing incomes. Social life is limited within the parish itself and tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and market towns for services, events and parish activities, while a few listed buildings and lanes of stone walls hint at its historic character.
