Balne is a small rural village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, set on low-lying agricultural land close to the River Aire and the Aire and Calder Navigation. The surrounding landscape is largely flat pasture and drained fen, with quiet lanes and long views across farmland that mark it out as a distinctly open, agricultural part of the county.
Historically a farming community with medieval roots, Balne still centres on agriculture and a few scattered historic buildings and a parish church rather than shops or heavy industry. Social life tends to revolve around village events and the rural calendar, while many residents travel to nearby towns for services, so it appeals to those seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle.
