Map of the UK

Aske is a small, mainly rural civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, lying close to the market town of Richmond and the wooded, meandering valley of the River Swale. The parish is largely agricultural, with a low population and a landscape of parkland, fields and small lanes that sits between the upland edges of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.

Its identity is shaped by a historic country estate at the heart of the parish, with notable old buildings and designed grounds that reflect the area's long rural past; locally the economy and social life remain tied to farming and the nearby town for services, while the setting attracts walkers and those interested in countryside heritage rather than bustling visitor facilities.
