Barnby is a small rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set on the coastal plain close to the Yorkshire coastline. It is largely agricultural in character, with patchwork fields, hedgerows and a few traditional houses, while its nearness to seafront villages and market towns brings a modest mix of commuters and visitors alongside long‑standing farming families.

The parish’s long agricultural history is evident in its field patterns and older buildings, and the surrounding lanes, coastal paths and wetlands attract walkers and birdwatchers. Community life is quiet and local, with heritage and landscape forming the main cultural and social focus rather than large amenities or industry.
