Map of the UK

Burton-on-Yore is a very small, rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, set beside the River Ure and only a few miles from the market town of Masham. It sits within the Harrogate district on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales, so its character is defined by riverside meadows, rolling farmland and the views that draw walkers and anglers to the area.

The parish has a quietly historic feel, with scattered farmsteads and a handful of older houses that reflect its agricultural past; the local economy is still largely farming-based, supplemented by tourism from visitors exploring the Dales and nearby areas such as Nidderdale. Social life tends to be focused on neighbouring villages and estates, giving the place a close-knit, unhurried atmosphere rather than any urban bustle.
