Brayton is a village and civil parish in the district of Selby, North Yorkshire, situated close to the market town of Selby and within easy reach of York and Leeds. The setting is gently agricultural, with surrounding arable fields and hedgerows and nearby wetland along the River Ouse that supports local wildlife and gives the area a distinctly rural character.
Locally the community combines long-standing farming traditions with a sizeable number of people who commute to nearby towns; village life centres on the parish church, village hall and a handful of small businesses and clubs. The area has deep rural roots and was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire before local government changes, so you’ll find a mix of older country cottages and more recent housing that reflects its evolving social and economic role.
