Barkston Ash is a small village in the rural district of North Yorkshire, England, lying in an agricultural landscape and within easy reach of market towns such as Selby and Tadcaster. Its setting of arable fields and hedgerows gives it a quiet, village character while keeping it well connected enough for residents who commute to nearby towns.
The name recalls a once-significant ash tree that marked the meeting place for the old Barkston Ash wapentake, and the village later lent its name to a former parliamentary constituency, underlining its long local administrative role. Today the community is largely residential with farming at its heart, modest local amenities and a social life centred on village activities and the surrounding countryside.
