The civil parish of Carperby-cum-Thoresby sits in Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, England, centred on the little village of Carperby with the small hamlet of Thoresby. It occupies rolling limestone dales and patchwork pastoral land typical of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales National Park, with drystone walls, narrow lanes and sweeping views that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Traditionally agricultural, the parish remains shaped by sheep and beef farming alongside a modest but growing tourist trade; visitors often use it as a quiet base for exploring nearby market towns such as Leyburn and the waterfalls around Aysgarth. The built fabric is characteristically stone-built cottages and farmhouses, and the area retains a close-knit rural community with local events and amenities that reflect its agricultural and historical roots.
