The village and civil parish of Bolton Percy sits in rural North Yorkshire, England, just a few miles south‑west of York and close to Tadcaster. It’s a small, largely agricultural community nestled among rolling fields and country lanes, with stone houses and a compact, traditional village core.

Bolton Percy has medieval roots and retains a historic parish church and remnants of a country estate, which give the place a strong sense of history. Economically the area remains tied to farming, though many residents commute into York and nearby towns; socially it’s quiet and community‑minded, with local events, footpaths for country walks and the kind of village rhythms that attract people wanting rural life within easy reach of the city.
