Map of the UK

Appleton Roebuck is a compact village in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, set in the gently rolling agricultural landscape of the Vale of York. It sits a short drive from the city of York, so while the surrounding countryside is rural and pastoral, many residents commute for work and services in the nearby urban centre.

The village has historic roots and a strong local identity, with traditional stone cottages, a village hall, a primary school and community groups that keep village life active; agriculture remains visible in the local economy alongside small businesses and commuter households. Annual events, village clubs and a lively parish atmosphere give it a social focus that balances its quiet, rural character with easy access to larger towns and cultural amenities.
