Brompton-on-Swale is a small riverside village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Swale just a short distance from Richmond and the large military community at Catterick Garrison. Its setting on the Swale floodplain gives pleasant riverside walks and a landscape of mixed arable and pasture, while the nearby A1(M) makes it a convenient commuter spot for larger towns in the region.

The village has a traditional feel, with stone houses, a church and local amenities like a village hall and pub that help sustain a lively community life; economically it blends farming, local services and commuters, and historically it sits within a long-settled part of the Dales with a notable vernacular built heritage. Proximity to Richmond brings cultural and shopping opportunities while the military presence nearby shapes local employment and social ties.
