Birkin is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, lying in a quiet agricultural landscape close to the historic county boundary with the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is a rural settlement of scattered farms, stone cottages and lanes rather than a built‑up centre, so life here tends to be quiet and tied to the surrounding countryside.
The local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work; the village retains a few historic buildings and a parish church that hint at its long rural past. Socially it works as a small, close‑knit community where village events and the countryside setting are the main attractions.
