Aldwark is a small, rural village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set beside the River Ure a few miles north of Boroughbridge and within easy reach of York. Its riverside position, bridge crossing and mix of farmland, woodland and winding lanes make it a pleasant spot for walkers and anglers and give it a quietly scenic character.

Historically an agricultural community with roots stretching back several centuries, the local economy remains centred on farming while also seeing some diversification into country accommodation and outdoor leisure. With a small, close-knit population the village retains a handful of historic buildings and a peaceful, community-focused social life, popular with people seeking a rural base near larger towns.
