Map of the UK

Burn is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in a broadly agricultural landscape. It has medieval roots - the name broadly refers to a stream - and you’ll find traditional stone cottages and a parish church that hint at its long local history.

Historically and economically the area has been tied to farming, though many residents now commute to nearby market towns; socially it retains a close-knit village feel with events in a village hall and countryside pursuits, and it’s popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the surrounding lanes and fields.
