Map of the UK

Burton Salmon is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, set beside the River Aire. Historically agricultural, it has medieval roots and a scattering of older stone and brick farmhouses and cottages that reflect its rural past.

Its riverside setting and proximity to the A1(M) corridor make it an attractive spot for countryside living while remaining convenient for commuters to nearby towns; local life is centred on a compact community, parish events and the rhythms of farming, and the river and nearby navigation routes recall the area's former role in local trade and transport.
