Coneysthorpe is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of Malton and York. The local landscape is a patchwork of rolling farmland and estate parkland, with the nearby stately home of Castle Howard forming a striking focal point and drawing visitors to the area.
Historically the settlement developed around agriculture and the estate, and that legacy still shapes the economy today - farming sits alongside tourism and visitor-related work linked to the house and gardens. Social life in the parish is quiet and community-minded, with occasional cultural events and film or TV interest from the nearby estate helping to raise its profile while the village retains a distinctly rural character.
