Bainbridge is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting in upper Wensleydale where the River Bain meets the River Ure. It lies on the A684 and is noted for its attractive stone bridge over the Bain and easy access to walking routes across the Yorkshire Dales.
The area has a long history - nearby are the remains of the Roman fort Virosidum and the parish St Oswald's Church has medieval origins - and today the local economy is a mix of farming and tourism, with pubs, tea rooms and holiday accommodation catering for walkers and cyclists. Community life is focused on village amenities and occasional local events, giving it a quiet but sociable character.
