Appleton Wiske is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set beside the gently flowing River Wiske in the flat agricultural landscape of the Vale of York, a few miles north of the market town of Northallerton. It has a compact community of a few hundred residents and a quintessentially rural feel, with traditional stone cottages, farmsteads and lanes opening onto fields and riverside footpaths popular with walkers and cyclists.
The village name reflects its Old English roots - an apple-related settlement beside the river - and its economy remains largely tied to farming, though many residents commute to nearby towns. Social life centres on village institutions such as the parish church, village hall and local gatherings, and the place carries a modest historic continuity as part of the old North Riding of Yorkshire countryside.
