Map of the UK

Barlby is a village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, set close to the banks of the River Ouse and immediately north of the market town of Selby. Historically an agricultural settlement with medieval roots, it grew through the 19th and 20th centuries and today combines residential areas and some light industry while serving as a commuter base for nearby centres such as York and Leeds.

Locally Barlby keeps a village feel with schools, shops, pubs and a handful of community clubs and events; its riverside setting offers leisure walks and easy access to the wider Selby area, making it a quiet but well-connected place to live. The mix of historic lanes and more modern housing gives it a character that reflects both its rural past and its role in the modern commuter belt.
