Map of the UK

Burneston is a small village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, a few miles south of Bedale and close to the A1(M). Set in the low-lying agricultural landscape of the Vale of Mowbray, it retains a mix of stone cottages, a parish church and a traditional village pub, and has medieval origins with a name that reflects an Old English association with a stream-side settlement.

Locally the economy is centred on farming and rural services, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Northallerton and Richmond. Community life is active for a village of its size, and its position gives easy access to markets and country pursuits in the nearby Yorkshire Dales, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter rural base.
