Burn is a small civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set amid rolling agricultural countryside and crossed by minor streams - its name comes from the Old English "burna", meaning a brook. The settlement is dispersed, made up of a handful of farmsteads and stone cottages rather than a single nucleated village, giving it a distinctly rural character.
Historically agricultural with roots stretching back into the medieval period, the local economy remains centred on farming though many residents commute to nearby market towns for work and services; there are occasional listed buildings and a quiet parish atmosphere that appeals to walkers and those interested in rural heritage.
