Barlow is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, lying a few miles west of Selby. Set on low-lying fenland close to the banks of the River Ouse, it has a distinctly rural character with surrounding arable farmland and flood meadows.
Historically the community has been tied to agriculture and the waterways that shaped local trade, and more recently the presence of large-scale energy and former coal-industry sites nearby, such as Drax, has influenced the local economy and landscape. Today Barlow appeals to walkers and birdwatchers exploring the riverside and reedbeds, while village life remains small-scale and community-focused.
